Evolution is about an alien biological invasion in a town in Arizona.  A meteorite falls from the sky and breaks into an underground cavern.  When local college professors go out to the site and take a sample they find that there is liquid inside of the rock.  They take some of the rock and some of the liquid.  The liquid contains single-cell organisms that turn out to have a high duplication rate and over the course of just hours begin to evolve.  Soon there are alien creatures all over the place and the army is involved and building up towards a cover up.  It falls upon the two college professors to become unlikely heroes and save the world from being over run by aliens.

Evolution in many ways seems to almost be as much a sci-fi movie as it is comdey.  The humour ranges from the dry and witty to the absurd and slapstick.  It has a good blend of comedy, drama, and a little bit of action.  The movie doesn't try very hard and sort of coasts along.  Still this doesn't detract from the film and some of it is very funny.  The characters are well thought out, acted out very well, but don't really have the kind of get up and go to be excellent.  The special effects are good with very believable looking creatures.  All in all Evolution was everything it was cracked up to be but nothing more.
