Movies will sometimes use solid, structured humor. Oftentimes, they will instead stick to randomly throwing out whatever they think will work. Such is the case today.
This movie is just weird for so many reasons. It stars a Playboy playmate, but doesn't really have any nudity. It is about space travel, but is much more about mocking the idea. The lead is a sex robot who is only implied to have sex with people.
There is a lot to love about the movie though. It is silly, whimsical and makes no bones about it. It has aliens that worship a motorcycle and pray to the God 'Harley Davidson.' One guy gets his space pod opened by a pet and is forcibly aged during the 25 year hibernation sleep. He spends the rest of the movie doing a bad, old man voice while his face is covered by a giant gray beard.
The best running joke involves the film's McGuffin: the Blue Star (AAAHHHHHAAAHHH). You see, every time someone says the name of the item...which is the Blue Star (AAHHHAAAHHH), the musical cue shoots up. The real joke is that we are not the only ones that hear it. The people in the film hear it as well and react to it. One time it doesn't, which angers the cast and forces them to say it again to correct the error. Good stuff.
Want more randomness? Stay tuned...
