Subject: give it some credit
I first saw this with my 21-year-old son, who shares my love of schlocky B-movies. Yes, the acting and special effects are pretty bad, but we both found ourselves caught up in the spirit of the storyline.

Our verdict? "Teenagers from Outer Space" has a nice little movie inside it, trying desperately to get out. In a way, it's like many of Ed Wood's movies -- loaded with good intentions, but the filmmaker just doesn't have the chops (or budget) to pull it off.

Perhaps if more people had been involved in it (Tom Graeff, according to IMDB, handled acting/writing/directing/editing/cinematography duties, was involved in the "special" FX and music coordination, and produced the whole thing), it might have turned out better.

Nevertheless, TFOS gets five stars, simply because it's so damn entertaining!

I love this crap, since it's so crappy. It's enjoyable crap. It's my favourite crap film of all time.

So bad it's good! It's cheesy, silly and stupid, But in the best way possible. Actually, the plot is quite decent, the ending is clever. While there were plenty of good Sci-Fi movies back in the 50's, It's the bad ones I love the most. Plus, it's never boring, and overall it's great way to relax. Cheese at it's finest!

...Ah, my absolute favorite sci-fi Bmovie. This film is a lot of fun in it's own right, not just for the camp value (though there is a whole lot of cheese involved). The hero's good natured innocence is disarming, and the unexpected violence alarming. Completely action packed, "Teenagers" isn't boring for a minute.

And of course, the monster is classic. 5 stars from me.

This is a fairly fun/goofy B-movie. It's not among my very favorites of the cheesy movie genre, but the acting is fair, there is a plot of sorts, and the alien lobster monster is great! Plus, the good-guy alien teenager is dreamy. Fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

It's the story of true love and giant lobsters. How could you not love it? I first saw this in color (yes, someone has made a colorized version) on "So Bad It's Good Theater" late one Saturday night and fell in love with it almost immediately. What really sold me on the movie is that the monster is a lobster. It really is so classically bad that it's good. If you enjoy low budget, poorly acted, campy sci-fi, I think you'll love this film.
