Amigos vs. extraterrestres

Norway, you did it again!

I so enjoy Norwegian humor, and science fiction movies. Put those two together, and you have a hit. I can understand most Norwegian, so I watched with subtitles (hate dubbing). There were many moments when I laughed so much my gut ached. Reminded me a bit of Saun of the Dead, minus the zombies. I am totally not getting the low ratings. Watch this!

You've seen this before: a silly comedy about aliens invading some isolated place where quirky people find the tools to repel them. And you've seen comedies that rely almost exclusively on the charm of their stars. The actors were charming and fun enough and the premise amusing. The effects were adequate.

However, it was way too silly and unstructured for me to enjoy. Other commenters have suggested I stop overthinking it and just enjoy it. Well, I am an overthinker, so this film is clearly not for me. Not that it wasn't funny, but I had to skip large portions of it and in the end I just wanted to get it over with.

Bottom line: adequate, but not recommended.

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.

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.

Don't get the low score? Deserves a least a 6 or 6,5 in my book. It's was a lot of fun! Great execution and funny actors who nailed the buddy tongue-in-cheek action. I liked it was Norwegian and it is very well made. I wouldn't mind a continuation of the story.
