AMANDA AND THE ALIEN

Cinemavixion Review

Jon Kroll's "Amanda and the Alien" presents a curious blend of science fiction and romance, centering on a bohemian artist who finds herself drawn to an extraterrestrial with a rather unusual appetite. The film attempts to explore themes of humanity and acceptance through the unconventional relationship between Amanda (Nicole Eggert) and her alien paramour. Eggert's performance anchors the narrative, navigating the complexities of interspecies affection and the looming threat of government agents, played with gruff determination by veteran actors like Stacy Keach and Michael Dorn. While the premise promises a unique viewing experience, the execution often leans into B-movie charm, offering a nostalgic glimpse into 90s sci-fi sensibilities. It's a film that doesn't shy away from its quirky concept, inviting viewers into a world where love truly knows no bounds—or species.
