IMDb:  A UFO crashes to earth. The first human the alien meets is a hillbilly named, Elmore P. Fudge, the dumbest man in the world. Elmore learns the Alien came to earth because, like in the movie 'Footloose', they are forbidden to dance on his planet. Elmore helps the alien find a disco and in the process they have many great adventures and become best friends. Meanwhile the U.S. Military has tracked the UFO crash and they reactivate their top alien bounty hunter ' Agent 3000', to exterminate the alien. The race is on for the dumbest man in the world to save the smartest being in the universe. No one told 'It' that coming to Earth would be so stupid.

From IMDb:  A troubled loner, Bob Maconel, imagines blowing up the tower in Los Angeles where he works. He takes a revolver to his office intent on killing colleagues, and then himself. At home, he holds conversations with his fish, who encourage him to do it. His supervisor picks on him. As he's screwing his courage to the sticking place, he drops a bullet; while on the floor looking for it, another colleague does exactly what Bob has been planning. Bob emerges a hero and the one colleague he likes, a woman with a bright smile, is severely wounded. Can Bob help her through despair and find himself and joy in life? Or, as everyone says, is this impossible for a man like him?

"I" is for Igor (2008)
« Reply #6183 on: October 29, 2010, 04:50:15 pm »

Animated fable about a cliché hunchbacked evil scientist's assistant who aspires to become a scientist himself, much to the displeasure of the rest of the evil science community.

Christian Slater was in He Was a Quiet Man and provided the voice of Dr. Schadenfreude's Igor in this animated film.
