"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" is a mix of sci-fi, sex comedy and sketch comedy. Cherie Chung is presented as an Asian Marilyn Monroe, including a scene based on the subway grating publicity photo from The Seven Year Itch. This scene goes on for quite a while,so you get a good look at her panties. This scene also includes a superhero costume joke that is the wittiest moment in the movie.

The story moves from scene to scene in a brisk manner, but you have to work to figure out how what is happening relates to what came before, because the scenes are so loosely connected. The movie focuses more on parodying sc-fi films, including "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Star Wars", than on telling a coherent story.

Cherie Chung is presented as irresistable to men and as a dumb non-blonde, apparently to emphasize the Marilyn Monroe image the film seems to be trying to create for her.

Unfortunately, Cherie Chung is not given the opportunity to act. In later films, she showed that she was extremely capable of conveying vulnerability, also one of Monroe's strengths. This movie uses her simply as a decoration and focuses on the routines of the comics.

The movie also includes an alien abduction and a Jekyll and Hyde subplot. There is also a suicide attempt which parodies melodramatic silent serials, but wastes the opportuntity it promises to give another look at Cherie Chung in her panties.

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" is a modestly entertaining sci-fi comedy that spends more time than it should on comedy that could be funnier, and unfortunately doesn't give Cherie Chung the chance to show the talent that would be so apparent in a few years.
