Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Cheese Hoven The feeble opening sequence does not lead us to anticipate a good (or in any way competent) film, but surprisingly it does improve slightly probably due to some quirky characters dotted about. The likability of Ant and Dec helps, but the script and direction (or lack of) do not.The premise of the interview by a documentary crew is a poor one and ensures the plot remains rooted to the spot. Perhaps the fact that it is based on real people and events has necessitated the approach taken. It might have been better if they had been more fast and loose with the facts (as indeed the alien autopsy film makers have been).It is riddled with meandering montages every few minutes which shows the poverty of imagination of the creators. The actual autopsy scene is good fun, but I feel more could have been made of it.

Dom Jerams I was impressed by the ease of Ant and Dec when they were able to step in to the roles. Both added extra comments in scenes of conversation that you don't see (or hear) in major films today which make it seem like realistic conversations.Before watching this film I saw a documentary with Eamonn Holmes about the story of the real hoax and you were able to see that the writers of the film had to make the film more interesting because it would have been extremely boring. The Hungarian gangster was added because Ray and Gary had to collect money over a few years after the USA visit. Also if you think about it, the fake cameramen who did the interview could be the real cameraman and the Harry Dean Stanton character could be based on a fake.I can't believe that this movie is so underrated because it is both a British feel good comedy and leaves you thinking at the end whether the footage is another hoax or real proof of alien life. The people who have added negative comment on this film are being fickle because they are philistines who prefer Hollywood films and can't watch a film with no special effects or actors who have been in other big films.

marazion1010 Ant and Dec have moved well past their Byker Grove days in this weird but wonderful movie. The way the story is told is really good - as a documentary/flashback! It really makes you think about the possibilities of what happened at Roswell and maybe there is something out there. Sorry, going all alien on you - but thats what the film makes you think. The sub-plot of the gangsters adds interest to the main story and, as you may or may not know, it is based on a true story - whether the whole thing is true or not, I can't remember! But who cares? Ant and Dec both deliver good characters and proves to the world that they can still act - long after PJ and Duncan! Surprise appearances from other comedians is a good laugh too. I could go on and on about this film but I don't want to spoil it too much. Just go and see it - it's a film that cannot be judged by just reading about it as different people think different things on this film. A must for Ant and Dec fans at least!!

amy_lumberjack Very funny, I really like Ant and Dec acting abilities in this film. It is a shame that Ant's best part was on one of the deleted scenes, otherwise they work very well together. Good timing, good chemistry, good delivery! I never thought they could do a film after Byker Grove after about 12 years ago, shows that they still have the talent. I never know if they are actually acting or being themselves some of the times.Enjoyable, fun and silly, I would like to see another film with Ant and Dec, they are so good. I actually liked the extras, how everything was done and commented. I especially liked the deleted scenes. It was good to hear from the director what he had to say over the deleted scenes. Very good hindsight. Emotionally, serious and funny, covers all areas that I like in a film.
