In the extravagantly absurd 'Starslingers: The Reptilian Exchange,' one might find themselves torn between uproarious laughter and the bewilderment of the cosmic rodeo unleashed by director Sidney Lumoose. Mark Walnutsberg delivers a performance that is as rigid as the spurs on his boots, yet it somehow suits his cowboy marshal persona as he confronts the otherworldly hijinks of Reptile Conte, whose reptilian rascal is as slippery as an eel in a vat of moonshine. The premise is ludicrous, yes, but it's in this chaos where the film finds its stride, moseying along the fine line between comedy and horror with all the grace of a prairie dance disrupted by a tumbleweed stampede. Paw Claw Henreid’s transformation from town staple to space oddity is a sight to behold, tickling the funny bone as much as it impresses with its seamless special effects. 'Starslingers' doesn't always hit the target, occasionally firing blanks with gags that misfire, but when it does, it's a hootenanny of intergalactic proportions. The film is as unpredictable as it is hare-brained, making it a PG-13 escapade that's a rootin'-tootin' good time for those who like their space invaders with a side of slapstick and a dollop of droll.
