Nearly but not quite.
hilaryevans20 November 2019
This could have a heck of a lot worse and much, much better too. Everything about it screams that the whole things needs tightening. Script, acting, casting, plotting, everything. This could have a really good movie but it just misses the mark slightly in every respect. Cries out to be remade in some form with a little more of everything thrown in.

Begrudgingly I can't rate this higher
McQualude17 August 2020
It's the plot of about one quarter of 80's movies where a guy has a hot but terrible girlfriend and after some hijinks finds a better girl. No problem, it worked for a lot of movies. And adding an alien to the mix freshens it up a bit, maybe, maybe someone else already did that I can't remember. The problem is that almost everyone outside the main two characters delivers their lines as if someone were prompting through an ear piece. Lines are delivered robotically with an awkward pause between each. All the secondary characters are standing around waiting for a queue to deliver a line and then they stand or sit there waiting for another queue. It make for a boring static scene. Ken Breese is well cast as the nerdy lovable guy who superficially could be a loser but isn't because he's nice and makes a lot of money. Max Reeves sells cute, fun, and vulnerable alien. The pacing and length were spot on and I enjoyed the movie overall, if it hadn't been for so many terrible performances I would have rated it higher.

Boring
jeffrsprague9 October 2019
MILD SPOILERS - mentions things that would have completely unimportant in most films, but as there is not much of a plot, here some might consider them spoilers.

I saw a bunch of really good reviews on Amazon so I had to give it a try. I love quirky comedies (ie: Tucker and Dale vs Evil) but this movie is just plain dumb and boring.

One reviewer described it as "family friendly". Really? He must have had some interesting parents. The F-word is used 5 times in the first MINUTE and many more times after. There are jokes and similar low-class gags.

There are numerous repetitive scenes of three losers sitting in a strip club, doing nothing of interest except demonstrating how they didn't get their money's worth from acting class..

The first 50% of the movie is Joe teaching "Blaire" the words for different items and a running, tedious, gag about her fondness for Red Bull.

Very low budget. There is almost no score, and every shot is static which makes for a very flat experience. The scenes with a score came close to professional - the rest felt like a home movie with good cameras. Many of the scenes are slow, depressed, and drag. The actors do not appear to be enjoying themselves most of the time. Acting: not consistent, but good enough (with a couple of exceptions).

A really anti-climactic ending that reflects the overall morose and boring tone of the whole movie.

The actresses are cute and the main character is a likable goof, but that's not enough to sustain a movie. The script is abysmal and barely tweaks the laugh meter. I really wanted it to be "fun", but unless you watch it while drunk or stoned, it's really not very funny or interesting.

I'm going to mark this review as containing spoilers, but it's a pretty sad indictment of the movie when a Red Bull gag is the most significant part of the story. I applaud the effort, but it didn't cut it. A very long 72 minutes that could have been cut in half.

It just ended and my wife's first comment is: "Can we watch something good now?"

Holy amateurish nonsense batman!

This was just bad. And boring. Seems like a film me and my buddies would make, except the plot looks like it was written by folks after a few beers.

Appallingly boring
eckjoshua21 November 2019
Absolute waste of time. Here is the plot: Alien lands in man's backyard. Nothing happens. The REAL story in the film concerns a fiance cheating on their betrothed. There is nothing even remotely alien or creative in this film. It is not funny. It is not interesting. It is not charming. It has a paper thin plot with horrible, boring dialogue written and performed at an elementary school level.

You gotta be on Crack
fly_fisher9 October 2019
To rate this piece of video trash any higher than a 1. Boring. Lame acting and pointless is using words that are kind to describe it

Really bad film
santanaf-302132 July 2020
Nice premise. Bad film. It was incoherent and was boring. The scene in the laundry mat with the crazy customer was unnecessary

Quirky and creative
mitsubishizero23 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I like movies that have female aliens and with that being said I thought this was pretty good. The story starts out simple but gets more and more complicated as it progresses. Joe's attempts to help an alien Blaire (Max Reeves) home leads to several misunderstandings with his friends and soon to be wife. As funny as it gets there's also a tragic side too:

His soon to be wife's cheating on him, her brother forces him to hang out while she's trying to have a bachelorette with her friends, etc. . If this becomes popular I hope they make a sequel of this because I would like to see what happened to Blaire. I feel like there's an idea there. With that being said I highly recommend you check it out.

uninspiring
allanmichael307 January 2020
They have mastered the art of Insipidity,there is an essential banality to the story. Maybe it/s the director/writer/main actors Lucid dreaming of the man he wants to be a starwars youtube fanboy that girls from mars find attractive.

SO BAD
charbarbera-0775918 January 2022
Some things are so bad they are good, not this.

If you have time to kill, I guess it could be used as a distraction.

They tried? We could give them an E for effort. But why bother?

Better than some TV
Sergiodave9 November 2020
Simple story about a Star Wars Fanboy you on the eve of his wedding meets an alien and has to get her home. The acting is average at best , the plot is simple, but some of the dialogue is okay. Can think of far worse ways of spending 70 minutes.

funny and entertaining
thomasphilipjr9 November 2019
The plot is really simple and hilarious - definitely, NOT slapstick. I liked the way the storyline flows very casually and without unnecessary sci-fiction - definitely NO special effects. The acting is not the best, but it does not take away from the entertainment for the general public. You should watch this movie, if you simply want to relax and have a laugh without giving too much thought to cinematic techniques.

Cute story
danhoyer13 October 2019
I enjoyed this low-budget flick. The acting was not that good, but it had a nice story line. And the reality is that it was fun to watch. Nicely done.

Fun, diverting 70 minutes
piperofthemillenium22 October 2021
As a fanboy from way back myself, I could identify with the main character, who suddenly found himself living every man's wildest dream - meeting a real-life alien. That the alien happened to be drop-dead gorgeous was naturally a bonus!

This movie is full of believable, if typical, characters. There are few surprises here. However, they do have a fun time and certain individuals do get their comeuppance in the end. If you're looking for something new, you're looking in the wrong place. However, if you're looking for a fun, short flick with a sci-fi air that you can much popcorn with, then look no further!

Enjoy!

Proof that Hollywood can't beat these small companies
andrewrlinks-491905 October 2019
Great plot great acting great movie . What makes this movie stand out is cast was really well matched and had a vibe of dude wheres my car? Well thought out special effects and as they show very little naughty bits so to speak. I wish Hollywood could learn from how well this was done. These guys need to make more movies.
