Joseph M. Fiorentino, the manager of Mike's, says that the restaurant draws its customers from many places: Boston, the suburbs and out of town...
There are also some amusing moments with a depty medical examiner (Linda Fiorentino), who keeps discovering strange corpses in the morgue only to be neuralyzed by Jones. The aliens themselves aren't especially original: most of them seem lifted from "Star Wars," and not enough is done with the concept of aliens in human disguise. The one exception is Vincent d'Onofrio, who demonstrates an unusual knack for phusical comedy (and an impressive makeup job) in playing the Bug disguised in Edgar's (decaying) skin.

Affirmative action is demode these days, but Hollywood needs some spur to bring women into full partnership with the Toms and Arnolds and Simbas...
