This film had a good buzz, but I just saw it and it was nothing special. Some funny stuff, but ultimately forgettable... it dragged in places, especially with the redundant dialogue gag wearing thin so quickly. "It's not easy being a scientist's wife --- the wife of a scientist." Try listening to this nonsense prattle over and over from just about every character to appear and see if it doesn't end up sounding like Ed Wood's fingernails scratching on a blackboard from beyond the grave, LOL.The voice and dialogue for the lost skeleton character (the hokey title monster, not counting the three-eyed space mutant which looks like a reject from Sigmund And The Sea Monsters) was juvenile and awful --- it undermined the rest of the film, and there was absolutely no backstory for the skeleton (its origin was never explained which upset me more than anything else in the film). The movie really wasn't that much better than an episode of MSTK3k. Worth a rental if you enjoy old bad movies --- otherwise, you'll probably hate it, as it isn't much different from the original films of the genre/time period it parodies... meaning, it is slowly paced and mind-numbingly stupid in parts. I would probably never watch it again, but don't really regret spending 90 minutes with it... Though I wish the filmmakers had taken a lesson from the films of the 1950s and cut the running time down to 70 minutes! Stretching it out to 90 minutes (today's industry standard run time) wore out the film's humor (and ridiculously thin plot) too early.</blockquote>
