Instead, we're presented with an "astro-robot" named Frank, who comes to save the day when Martian forces led by Princess Markuzan (Marilyn Hanold) begin kidnapping scantily-clad Earth females from sock-hops and beach-blanket shindigs everywhere -- apparently with the intent of populating a few parties of their own. The aliens manage to french-fry most of Frank's face off, but he nevertheless manages to snap back (after a few minor adjustments) and give the invaders what-for. Also known by the more honest title Mars Invades Puerto Rico. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It competes on the same playing field with Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) as one of those lovable worst pics ever made.
-
Stefan Birgir Stefansson, sbs.is
Weird, up to the point that it sometimes doesn't look like a real film.
-
Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Unfortunate that the two met.
-
Matt Brunson, Creative Loafing
The worst movie ever made? Hard to say, given all the competition. Must-see viewing for bad-movie buffs? Oh, yeah.
