6/10

I was actually kind of disappointed with this one. It felt more like an average episode of Futurama, as opposed to an original, exciting feature-length outing like Bender's Big Score. David Cross provided the voice of the alien Yivo, but after a while I started to get tired of it.

The story revolved around a giant inter-dimensional alien wishing to mate with the entirety of the universe. That's weird even for this show. Then, everybody in the universe acts like they're in a relationship with it, which just makes everything even stranger. While a lot of the jokes were funny, the story was way too bizarre and the film suffered because of it.
