If CLUELESS was zapped into a movie where Gen X icon Nicole Eggert (BAYWATCH) falls in love with a body-snatching extraterrestrial, it still wouldn't be enough to describe the mindwarping charm of AMANDA & THE ALIEN. Amanda (Eggert) is an artist who leads a quiet life. That is, until she falls in love with a hunky alien who can only survive by swapping human hosts every few days. This bizarro sci-fi comedy is an explosion of 1990s nostalgia, featuring navel rings, CGI morphing effects, an indie rock soundtrack from Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Gos and Sparks, and an unforgettable sex scene involving paprika. A smash hit when it premiered on Showtime in 1995, AMANDA & THE ALIEN has been newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative.

"I watched this as a teen and the silliness always stuck with me Also I love Nicole Eggert and shes amazing as Amanda from the title. the alien on the other hand is up to no good in this shlock fest as it jumps body to body and falls in love. Wacky good time and a perfect double feature with Tammy and the T-Rex."
"Such a fun tv movie I had a blast with this."
"good restoration thank you for another great release"
"Fun trip back to the 90s featuring a great and energetic performance from Nicole Eggert of Baywatch fame. Highly recommended for 90s aficionados!"
"Great"
"Insane piece of 90s archival alien silliness. AGFA strikes again"
"1990's San Francisco is usually reason enough to like a movie but their is absolutely nothing I dislike about this. It's a masterpiece."
"I felt very nostalgic and cozy watching this. It’s a cute story and the transfer looks great. Fun Saturday morning watch."
"Amanda and the Alien is a quirky made-for-TV sci-fi rom-com directed by Jon Kroll, based loosely on a short story by Robert Silverberg. The film stars Nicole Eggert as Amanda, a free-spirited artist who unwittingly becomes entangled with a shape-shifting alien on the run from government agents. Though it never fully commits to its camp potential, Amanda and the Alien is a curious relic of Showtime’s late-night programming era—goofy, mildly risqué, and oddly endearing"
"I’ll be watching this soon. This just looks awesome."
