Many people here seem to hate this movie even though it's so cute and inoffensive as the baby Su and Jack pick up towards the end. I can only guess that the haters expected a serious alien invasion flick with "Independence Day" effects and heroics. Well, it's not! The alien invasion is mostly just background noise to the story of Su and Jack and their often hilarious but relatable ineptitude in the face of first their own little problems and later the big alien problem.
Just expect the quintessential "small" movie, have a glass of wine and maybe you too can enjoy this little gem, with beautiful scenery and cinematography and the cutest couple since "Harry and Sally.
A young couple feels stuck in a rut, and jump on a chance to spend a week at a friend's cabin in the woods, and unplug in order to connect with each other. What could go wrong?
The husband and wife actors feel real and relatable, and are hilarious. The cabin and forest are lovely, a perfect place for rest and relaxation, and an alien invasion. It quickly becomes clear neither of them have any knowledge of basic survival skills. This film is a delightful mix of an enjoyable Rom-Com and a rather unique take on an alien invasion.
Sunita Mani and John Reynolds should sign up for a Judd Apatow flick in the future - preferably, a millennial sequel to "This is 40. The duo has exceptional chemistry, expressive faces, and great comedic timing. I'd have been happy to listen to these two going at each other with their internet philosophies and natural relaxation techniques for 90 minutes instead of the sci-fi schlock the film turns out to be. Add Baby Jack into the mix and it would have been hella entertaining (as a pure romantic comedy. While the alien pouffe things were 'cute' I couldn't take them seriously even when they were going on an alcoholic killing spree. The ending is a bit of a bummer too; expedited and ambiguous.
