Featured review
Film for all ages
No it is not E.T. but this film derives from the source. We all have a complex image of what other life out there may look like and this film brings in a relative cuteness to the aliens. It is a very cute film with humor and kids style action. Good dialogue, solid plot and moral compass of needing to come together as a family more.
A father (Nealon) takes his wife and three kids to a lake house and meets up with his brother (Richter) and mother (Roberts). Both brothers have different parenting styles which brings the humor into play. The aliens crash land and the fun begins antics from the kids and fun at the daughter's boyfriend's expense. A good screenplay, solid music score that went right along with the films scenes. A cameo from Tim meadows which was fun. I had a fun time watching the film and think they should make more like this. I give it a solid 6
