Need a good spoof of Spielberg sci-fi movies like Close Encounters, Star Wars, and ET? This movie was as much fun as Fan Boys. So if you enjoyed that one, you will most likely "get" this one too. The fun part is recognizing all the connections. If you miss them, the story is more or less just average.
Simone Pegg and Nick Frost are goofy comedy geniuses. Either that or they are the UK's version of Jack Black. I prefer the first observation.
The other fun surprises here are the great performances from some very familiar faces like Jane Lynch, Jason Bateman, Sigourney Weaver, and Seth Rogen. These are not the only ones of course. The entire cast was clearly having a good time.
Don't watch this movie with high sci-fi expectations. Instead, have a bunch of popcorn and your sense of humor completely intact. And I do recommend the unrated version for the out of control language and "alien behavior".
