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.[4][5][6]
The film is about three lesbian space aliens that come to Earth.[7] Once on Earth, one of the space aliens, Zoinx, falls in love with an employee at a greeting card store named Jane.

In the meantime, Jane, Zoinx, and Zoinx's friends do not know that they may be in trouble: there are two government agents--men in black—are monitoring Jane as she starts to become closer to a woman who the men feel does not belong on this planet.
