Night of the Comet
“They came. They Shopped. They saved the world!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 60, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Two sisters survive a comet catastrophe and face an emptied city with attitude, shopping opportunities and growing suspicion. The deliberate Valley-girl apocalypse is more charming than the thin scientist conspiracy that follows. A colourful eighties pick with a welcome human centre.
