Customer Reviews

British potty humor style with a twist of sci-fi

Two British amateur ufologists, Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost), visit COMICON in the US. Then they are off to the UFO sites in the US. They have a close encounter with a maniac driver. Little did they know they were going to encounter Paul, an Area 51 escapee who just wants to go home. We go along for the ride. There, we encounter several cultures on the journey. I first saw the trailer for this movie on TV, the one where Paul brings the bird back to life and then does what comes naturally. That set the tone for the whole film. The film does offend prudes of all types with its British style of humor (however, Universal City, CA); if not, it would have let someone down. For me, it was the excessive potty mouth. However, being part of the aggregate, it was probably necessary. A nice side part of the film is that they make fun of or incorporate a tad of quite a few of the major sci-fi movies. Watching the extras, we learn that they went out of their way to also incorporate filming styles of some great movies. For some sort of inexplicable reason, I really enjoyed the film, and it made me think of a lesser-known film named “Out There” (1995) with Wendy Schaal.
