An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but with a cast including Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill, I still had to watch it at some point. Well, right from the start, the whole thing sounded really ludicrous so it seemed that it was completely doomed from the start but, eventually, the main issue was in fact that they mixed up this wacky concept with a straight R-rated comedy and a really standard and boring alien invasion plot. That was just so wrong and they couldn't have chosen a worse way to handle this. I mean, if you go for something stupid like this, then, go for broke then and make something completely insane. But since it is a commercial Hollywood picture, they just gave us some glimpse of what it could have been and, instead, you just got some rather underwhelming characters going through the motions. I mean, I’m not saying that it could have been great, it was a tough sell anyway, but the way they handled the whole thing was seriously pathetic. And what was that about one of them being an alien?!? That was totally f*cking random like ‘sorry, guys, we are kind of stuck here so let’s make one of them being an alien so he explain the whole thing in a few sentences so that we can speed up the whole thing in the process’. To conclude, it could have been worse but it could have been much better so I don’t think it is really worth a look.
