...woman and responded by trashing their condo: microwaving his football, toasting his funny cigarettes in the VCR, dropping his gold watch in the Disposall. And now, she notes, "there's a giant blow-dryer in my pool." Well, a UFO actually, with three horny, color-coordinated aliens (Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans) itching to spend the night.
