If it weren't for the plot synopsis, which should have been labeled with a spoiler alert, I'd have had no idea what was happening. This is one of those rare films that should have been longer, so it could drop some clues about wtf was going on. Or, drop/shorten some of the MANY nightclub scenes. But, it's obviously one of those quota films 1950s studios had to do.

I'm on the cusp of being too old to enjoy this film (48). I bet the under 40 crowd will like it the most, especially if they appreciate understated comedy and don't expect all movies with aliens to rely on explosions. I loved the 2 leads, liked the setup showing their mindless reliance on tech, and empathize with their struggles to disconnect from tech and reconnect with each other. It's a quiet relationship comedy with an alien twist for extra flavor. Don't expect anything else and you'll enjoy, unless you don't enjoy quiet, observational comedies.
