Men in White

About This Movie

So, National Lampoon's Men in White, it's this quirky 1998 TV film that really aims to poke fun at the whole sci-fi genre, especially taking jabs at Men in Black and Independence Day. The tone's pretty tongue-in-cheek, you get satirical humor layered with a bit of absurdity, which you expect from National Lampoon. The pacing moves along briskly, keeping the jokes rolling, sometimes hitting, sometimes missing, but that’s part of its charm. The practical effects lean into that low-budget vibe, giving it a unique feel. The performances are deliberately over-the-top, which makes sense for a parody. It’s like a time capsule of late '90s comedy, and while it's not groundbreaking, it’s distinct in its own wacky way.
