Oh man. I'm so excited to write this review for you guys. Dont judge me, I was out with my parents and sister and they all wanted to see this.

Spoiler alert, if genuinely thought this movie was good, you probably should stop reading. No judgments, to each their own. :)

So seriously, this was one of the most unintentionally hilarious movies I have ever seen. Once it's on Netflix it's totally worth a viewing just for freaking laughs. I honestly really enjoyed myself. I laughed more through it than I have in a comedy in a while. Just so much ******** stuff happens that it really is awesome. I was trying so hard not to laugh out loud, cuz I really wasn't trying to be a jerk it was just so funny.

You have to see it to understand there was just something completely absurd in every scene of the film to the point of pure hilarity. The gun safety in this movie was atrocious. These people are definitely going to have an accident.

I'm still laughing. So many awesome scenes. Not quite on showgirls level, but it's up there. The aliens plan is amazing. Seems totally legit. :)

The chick's makeup is flawless man. Through the whole apocalypse! And there is another chick that even during the apocalypse remains SUPER dedicated to her goth look.

The alien actually says to the chick at one point:

I didn't think love really existed, until I saw you.

Classic.

daughter saw this...said it was okay as far as entertaining goes...but they twisted the storyline to make it more of a love story...and even after years of no electricity...it was painfully obvious the girls hair was perfect in every shot....

so...even a 14 year old girl saw many mistakes in this one.....she did get a laugh out of the goth chicks dedication to her image...said she and her friend were laughing about the stuff during the movie.


it will likely be in SHO before easter

Haha, excellent review. This movie was really bad. Not sure how it made $109m.

It's too bad, because there were a few good actors in the film that weren't half bad.

It was supposed to be a trilogy, but I think they pulled the plug on that plan.
