Beverly Hills Bodysnatchers 1989 Story by PK Simonds and Jonathan Mostow, screenplay by PK Simonds, directed by Jonathan Mostow. This is Jonathan's first full feature, he'd already directed a segment of the 1985 anthology movie Fright Show, he didn't direct any other features until Breakdown in 1997. He followed that With U-571, Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines, Hancock and Surrogates. I haven't seen any of the three films he made after that.
Art Metrano, Vic Tayback and Frank Gorshin star in this re-animation comedy. Frank's the mad scientist, Vic runs the mortuary where Frank does his experiments. Art is a local mob boss who forces Vic to take on his wife's two sons as assistants. They discover about Frank's experiments and become part of the team. The process works but it's got problems in the early stages.
There's plenty of noise and running about but not much by way of jokes. Not something I would need to watch again. You can see it on YouTube, link above.
