This movie is interesting, but also overly weird and at times overly annoying. The actors are fine, but only Malcolm Mcdowells voice performance is the one to watch or listen of the voice acting. The special effects and freakish aliens are cute. The reason it gets a 5 is because the movie keeps you awake wondering what the heck is going on. Now this movie can be stupid at times and of course freaking ridiculous. I was never bored when i watched it, but like i said I was annoyed at times. The picture quality of this movie (meaning what and where the camera is shooting) is beautiful. Nice bright colors. But only a 5 it shall receive.

The first two-thirds of this movie are so neat and so funny, that it is such a shame when the final third is so downright stupid and remedial. It is about a boy, who feels like an outcast at home and school, that he tries to summon aliens using his satellite dish to take him away from Earth. After a lightning incident, aliens finally do hear him, and some of them come to try and take the boy away after he has had second thoughts about leaving. Some of these aliens (especially the lawyer alien) are very hilarious. But then the writing screws up when the boy his friends team up with the school bully to face an evil zoo-keeper alien. This bully-befriending and cliched evil alien make me wonder if we changed writers within the movie. That feeling ruins "Can Of Worms." Zanatos's score: 5 out of 10

About a teenaged boy suffering rejection angst who messages The Universe to come and take him away because he doesn't belong on earth. The movie overall is "sweet" - no one is too awful, and nothing too terrible happens to him. The production values are so low as to become distracting; i.e., the aliens are not cute or interesting, the halloween dance has a total of about 20 participants, and his "high tech equipment" consists of a laptop and a backyard satellite dish. You have never heard of any of the actors in this, except for the kid nextdoor neighbor. I watched it because TV Guide rated it very very highly - I wonder what they were thinking of.
