Attention, 21st-century MTV generation: this is the movie for you, replete with backwash jokes, cleavage jokes, rotten breath jokes, a diarrhea sequence and a scene in which someone licks a dog's naughty bits. The plot, such as it is, involves a group of friends from small-town Eureka. Tim (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) has just returned home from the big city after a failed attempt to break into the television industry. He runs into Crash (Byron Lucas) and Blank (JP Manoun) at the fast food joint where they still work after all these years. To welcome Tim home, they decide to go on a camping trip. At night in the forest, a UFO lands near their campsite and a small ET clone begins to rummage through their things. Crash, the teenage NRA member-type, shoots the alien right between the eyes with a crossbow, and the space critter seems pretty dead. Tim feels a bit guilty, but the boys decide the alien could be worth big bucks to the right TV show, and might just be their ticket out of Eureka. They devise a plan to exploit the alien, but things get out of hand when the little guy comes back to life and escapes. Hijinks ensue, romantic intrigue is introduced (not involving the alien, thank goodness), and a moral lesson about the importance of home is appended. A lowbrow, over-the-top comedy in the tradition of MTV's Jackass or AMERICAN PIE, this film is — like its predecessors — certain to amuse teenagers, annoy adults and fade quietly into oblivion. leave a comment --Matt Lapin
