U.F.O. (also known as U.F.O. - The Movie) is a 1993 British science fiction spoof directed by Tony Dow and starring Roy Chubby Brown in the role of a blue comedian whose act offends a pair of female aliens, who proceed to kidnap him and put him on trial.

Reception

It was reviewed poorly, with Empire calling the film "a stand-up show, allowing the comedian to tell his sexist jokes to a race of aliens who charge him for being a misogynist" and rating it 1/5.^[2] Geoffrey Mcnab from Sight and Sound said it was "wildly uneven, often offensive, but with a cheerful inanity which goes some way to compensate for its grosser shortcomings".^[1]

The film opened on 45 screens on 10 December 1993 in the United Kingdom and grossed £73,925 for the weekend, placing ninth.^[3]
