Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Matt matt I tuned into this reluctantly, expecting Cone-Head type nonsense, but was pleasantly surprised to find a dialog driven comedy both smart and funny.If only my selection of movie channels would schedule more like this. I almost missed it, I've become so cynical about the constant barrage of action, crime, bad horror, and cheap sex farces, that dominate the selection.If you like being treated as if you have a grain of brainpower, then watch this little gem.Maybe the aliens will evolve us.

frankf-10 Drones is a small film well worth watching if you enjoy quirky, well-written, well-acted comedies. Going in, I didn't understand that the sci-fi angle would be so central, but it was nice to see a low budget production that features (more or less convincingly) "aliens" without the need for tons of makeup. And Drones almost as funny as 'What Planet Are You From?' (which also needed little in the way of FX). Angela Bettis, not the typical cute/perky "young thing" one might expect in a role like this, is quite arresting, with a lovely smile and expressive face. I found all the performances to be solid, with a cast of actors who are unfamiliar to me. Good comic performances all around. I also enjoyed the songs playing over the closing credits, including one that listed many aspects of earth life that might befuddle extraterrestrials. The quirky birthday song was also a hoot.

shane013a-1 As was pointed out previously by Rahb17, this has a lot of the early Twilight Zone television episode, Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?(May 21,1961). A mixture of 'visitors' watching, plotting and waiting while all around (including other aliens)are clueless. Also, however, I would like to point out that this is skillfully combined with the irreverence applied to work in Office Space(1999) and offering as well several romances taking place in cubicles and available copy/storage rooms much to the frustration of Pete the office manager. While James Urbaniak takes on a benevolent dictator demeanor as Pete, he's no Gary Cole and the same can be said of Jonathan M.Woodward's lead not being as acidic as Ron Livingston, however, we don't really need a carbon copy of Office Space to make this a fun movie. The plot breaks away on its own well enough to allow fleshing out of the Jim Belushi style delivery Mr. Woodward offers us (SPOILER) tag-teamed by a charismatic Samm Levine as his concerned 'alien' best friend,sans the bicycle. Angela Bettis on the other hand has an original believable grace which can easily have you rooting for her by the end as she grows into emotions, a thing not easily received by her species, and falls in love with Brian. All of this ends up neatly tied together with Dave Allens wonderful rendition of the Philo character from UHF (1989) getting things back together chronologically. This little gem is a must see for fans of all the above mentioned 'contributors' and everyone who just likes fun, quirky films.

sgcim I didn't think this was going to be very good, after hearing some out of tune singer sing some song about writing a memo, but once the movie started, it was non-stop hilarity. This was sci-fi comedy writing on the level of Douglas Adams or Robert Sheckley. Incredible comic timing by all the actors and actresses that served the genius dialogue extremely well. I haven't seen a film where I was laughing out loud after every exchange since "The Producers". So far, I've loved every movie Angela Bettis has been in, and I didn't even know she was in this till I saw her name in the credits at the end. Other than some of the songs, the music was an unusual type of chamber music that really brought out the quirky, claustrophobic nature of all the cubicle encounters. Though the arrangements of the songs were well done, the mediocre vocalists were the only weak point of an almost perfect ensemble piece. The pace is very fast, like many sit-coms you see nowadays, but the humor is actually intelligent as opposed to the moronic non-humor that I can't sit through anymore- in movies, TV or even real-life. And all on only 1/2 mill! Mainstream media is so devoid of talent in general, these people would be a welcome relief to the endless dreck we're being fed.
