Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same is an American independent 2011 comedy film written and directed by Madeleine Olnek.

[2][3] It parodies lesbian culture and low-budget American 1950s science-fiction films in the style of Ed Wood.

The film is an adaptation of a play Madeleine Olnek originally wrote and directed for New York's WOW Café theater in 1992,[7][8] which was also produced in San Francisco in 1999.

The film's since gone on to slay at a slew of festivals”[14] Variety concurred saying, “Sweet, funny, clever comedy...Olnek’s sensibility is singular, and the work of the cast-- notably the sweetfaced Haas and the hilariously robotic Ziegler-- make for a movie that seeks, and earns, affection.”[15] During the film's theatrical run, The New York Times emphasized the universality of the comedy.

“Clever…witty...this enormously likable movie keeps sexual politics on the back burner and the universal search for connection front and center...Ed Wood would be proud.”[16] And the LA Times said, “'Codependent...' is silly, cheesy and surprisingly enjoyable.
