My Alien Girlfriend

But I liked it.

Disclaimer: I was also extremely high

This could have a heck of a lot worse and much, much better too. Everything about it screams that the whole things needs tightening. Script, acting, casting, plotting, everything. This could have a really good movie but it just misses the mark slightly in every respect. Cries out to be remade in some form with a little more of everything thrown in.

Simple story about a Star Wars Fanboy you on the eve of his wedding meets an alien and has to get her home. The acting is average at best , the plot is simple, but some of the dialogue is okay. Can think of far worse ways of spending 70 minutes.

The plot is really simple and hilarious - definitely, NOT slapstick. I liked the way the storyline flows very casually and without unnecessary sci-fiction - definitely NO special effects. The acting is not the best, but it does not take away from the entertainment for the general public. You should watch this movie, if you simply want to relax and have a laugh without giving too much thought to cinematic techniques.

It's the plot of about one quarter of 80's movies where a guy has a hot but terrible girlfriend and after some hijinks finds a better girl. No problem, it worked for a lot of movies. And adding an alien to the mix freshens it up a bit, maybe, maybe someone else already did that I can't remember. The problem is that almost everyone outside the main two characters delivers their lines as if someone were prompting through an ear piece. Lines are delivered robotically with an awkward pause between each. All the secondary characters are standing around waiting for a queue to deliver a line and then they stand or sit there waiting for another queue. It make for a boring static scene. Ken Breese is well cast as the nerdy lovable guy who superficially could be a loser but isn't because he's nice and makes a lot of money. Max Reeves sells cute, fun, and vulnerable alien. The pacing and length were spot on and I enjoyed the movie overall, if it hadn't been for so many terrible performances I would have rated it higher.
