The movie has an interesting beginning, claiming it's based on a true story. Story, however, either isn't screen-played well, or, some big parts of "the story" were actually missing (or, shall I say too much dramatized). The story is about an event (some light spotting) in USA and some awkward chain of events that a man (Richard) has undergone.

More than half of the movie is NOT about the promised story; it's about a dramatic (!) events where people don't behave dramatic enough and you lose all your concentration. Acting was not reflecting chain of events in the movie and you see people behave in such a strange way as if they forgot about what has happened just a few seconds ago.

It all boils down to this; this screenplay makes the story groundless; I don't know whether it was real, but my impression is simply "waste of time".

The story of the movie is just perfect. All futuristic movies describe an advanced civilization. This movie chooses the other way around, outsmarting all other super-advanced-Hollywood-fictional-hi-tech scripts.

May be movie was supposed to be rated with "R+"; the emphasis on sex-related "humor" is off the charts. In my opinion, the prime target for the movie is below 14 years of age, like may be 12. It definitely doesn't address for 25+ people. It's not funny at all, I don't remember I have laughed even once. Story is short; he solves exactly one problem.

I think this story could be expressed in far better ways than this movie. It's a brilliant idea, but bad screenplay. Movie tried to tell "how stupid can we get" in a stupid (or, may be, "poor") way. From this point of view, it's successful; it's all about stupid stuff, and it's all told in stupid way. I, however, still believe that it could be a movie that still shows "how stupid can we get" in a smarter way.

As a conclusion; it's recommended to be watched but don't expect real comedy or smart jokes. Don't try to watch during your romantic moments, not to mention keep this movie away from your children.
