¡Caña al extraterrestre!

It was very late and I was bored and this popped up on some movie service I have and I don't remember which. I happened to see the title while looking for something else to watch tonight and thought I would write a review for it.

It reminded me of Tucker and Dale which had me in stitches for the first hour. Tucker and Dale is a better movie on many levels but that doesn't mean this is unwatchable. I had to get past a few thing, like the way they talk and the slow start. I never fell asleep and ended up watching the whole thing. There were some genuine laughs for what is obviously a low production. I would give it a go some time.

The trailer was so much fun. Such a shame that the middle part was messy and the dialogue+writing needed a lot of sprucing up. I wish the whole movie was as good as the end scene.

Didn't come close to reach the height of Edgar Wright's "Cornetto Trilogy" and the 2 main leads are no Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. But probably budget is the issue, it looked like a 2010 Syfy movie of the week at times. But VFX complaint aside, the 2010 vibe is a plus in my book since we don't get something like this anymore. Overall an ok watch if you don't have anything else.

I don't like slapstick comedy and I didn't think I'd enjoy this. But the trailer look like an Edgar Wright film so I have it a whirl.

The stand out scenes all took place in the police station with the three leads Axel Bøyum, Fredrik Skogsrud and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal. For me this is where the humour was the strongest. Their comic timing was perfect and I can't help but think it would have been a stronger movie had it have been those three stuck in a room during an alien invasion. Ingar Helge Gimle provided nice additional support also.

I found the scenes in the woods with the other buddies set the film back a lot. André Sørum did his best with what he had but one can't help but wonder how much better he'd have fared at the police station with the main players.

It's a movie I'd watch again. It was light hearted fun and just what the world needs in these dark times

6/10.

It never happened to me to watch a movie and hate absolutely every character. It's really amazing that a director can screw up everything in a movie. Waste of opportunity and a waste of time for me, because I watched it until the end.

This film was not as bad as the ratings. It was funny and had good structure. The characters were likeable and each cast member brought fun elements to their role. Making it into an alien film was a good choice as with the added elements of laser tag the film took good direction. Overall a pretty good and fun film that I could see there being a sequel for.
