“Brave New Jersey” (*1/2 out of four) was an artificial and drab retelling of Orson Welles’ classic 1938 broadcast of “The War Of The Worlds” and how it sent a small nowhere town in New Jersey into a frenzy and led many of the town’s residents to question their identity and question their place in life. By the end, viewers will probably question why they wasted an hour-and-a-half of their life on this timewaster. Supposedly a comedy although it’s about as funny as an episode of “Lost In Space.” Same story was told in a much different context in 2005’s “War Of The Worlds” but maybe it’s time we let Orson Welles rest in peace.
