Infractions: None. Comments: Two English sci-fi geeks travel to San Diego for Comic-Con. Afterwards they have a tight schedule traveling around the Southwest U.S. seeing the alien sights. That is until they stop to help a wildly erratic car that crashes in front of them. I really enjoyed this film. It continues the tradition of allusions to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg movies that was a basis of Spaced. But this film is different. It's really a good comedy with an alien in the mysterious Southwest. The ideas have matured and--I think--are ready for even the most casual viewer. Regardless of the past knowledge, this is a cute film that is fun and well-developed. |
