Corrected entry: Almost every time Morgan takes a puff from his inhaler, he doesn't depress the pump and therefore would not get any medicine. (00:10:05)

Corrected entry: Late in the film you find out that water is to aliens as strong acid is to humans. However, earlier in the film when Mel Gibson goes to investigate the corn fields with the torch, the aliens are running around in the mist filled corn fields. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't mist just water vapor? Seeing how bad a glass of water ate away at the alien's flesh, even the slightest bit of water such as water vapour in the lungs and on the skin should cause serious damage or at least painful irritation, especially with prolonged exposure such as a few minutes. Just imagine a human breathing acid fumes, or walking in a room filled with acid gas.
Correction: It is never stated in the movie that water is what the aliens are "allergic" to. I think perhaps Bo's habit of stating that the water is "contaminated" is a hint. Maybe it's not water, per se, but TAP water that hurts them. There are lots of chemicals in tap water that don't hurt us, but could be toxic to the aliens.
That is incorrect, it is stated that the aliens have a weakness to water and that they avoided areas with large bodies of water because of that fact.
That came off as a parody or assumption. It's even made fun of in the scene where Morgan says, "Sounds made up."
I'm not sure what you mean, but late in the film there is a radio report about the alien invasion and the reporter mentions groups of people congregating near bodies of water because the aliens don't seem to want to attack near bodies of water.

Corrected entry: The dad walks into a room with glasses of water all over the place (this is after the night when the alien was on the roof) and his daughter is watching a cartoon, called "Dexter's laboratory". In the episode she's watching a scene is missing, in between the part where the father hits the bug off the ladies' hair and the part where the character says "do it up".
Correction: Content is often edited when episodes are rerun in syndication to allow for more commercial breaks.
This is generally not true of cartoons with short segments such as Dexter's Laboratory. Even if it were, Dexter's Laboratory has never been syndicated. Reruns are shown through Cartoon Network or the Cartoon Network owned Boomerang and they are never edited for additional commercial breaks. In addition it would not have been syndicated at the time the movie is set, as the film was released during the original run of Dexter's Laboratory in either the 4th or 5th season.

Correction: With the type of inhaler used, it is possible to activate it by a deep breath alone, thus negating the need to press it every time.
That is true for dry-powder inhalers, but Morgan uses a regular metered-dosage inhaler. That requires depressing the canister to get the medicine to come out. In addition, you can even hear a sound effect of the aerosol shooting the medicine out of the canister even though he hasn't actually pressed the canister down.
