We Are Not Alone

I really enjoyed this. It was good, silly fun that wasn't in any way taxing, much in the same way as Red Dwarf, or something of the like.

I think it's a shame this wasn't a series though. Because the characters, the aliens really, and their inability to grasp humans and Earth carried the film more than the actual story. And, if it had been a series they could have expanded upon that.

Nontheless, this made me smile. It's not trying to be anything more than what it is. It's not witty, or clever, so the at times juvenile comedy is not out place because it sprt of gits in with the naivety of the characters.

I'd recommend it.

The thing with tv now is you always have to pay full attention to every little bit just incase you miss things, there's not enough casual fun tv that's actually a bit fresh and different, panel comedies done to death, just nice to watch something a bit cooky!

I really enjoyed the sort of amateur DR who effects, it felt not well put together but at the same time it felt well done, to me it was just mislead daft fun and I thought it was funny. It didn't rely too much on smut, more just slapstick style comedy and all of the actors played their roles completely OTT but perfectly!

Weirdly never been a huge fan of Joe, find his style to awkward but he was great in this, his style actually suited being an alien so well it felt better fit than him being a human.

When I started watching this I thought I had somehow accidentally turned over to a children's channel.

It reminded me of adolescent shows such as 'My Parents Are Aliens' but on a larger scale. The 'humour' was just a little more advanced in We Are Not Alone, although just as hackneyed.

The production seems to have been done on the cheap, which really doesn't help sell the story.

Overall it was disappointing and a shame that a bit more effort wasn't devoted to making We Are Not Alone a bit tighter and engaging.

I'd say this is something of a missed opportunity because British comedy hasn't had much to offer in recent years.

I was recommended this by a friend at work and had nothing to watch so put it on demand - I expected to not really watch it but after the intro was hooked. It's been compared to Sean of the dead and I could see why elements were a similar style. Story line is a bit pants but I wasnt really expecting one anyway- the guy from inbeetweeners really suits his character. I think it would have suited being a show better as feels more like lots of sketches/mini jokes crammed together without any time to explore the jokes. There hasn't been anything like it for years that I can think of and after watching it find myself wanting to see more- hopefully they'll do more shorts as it seems a waste to have created something like that then just forget about it.

I almost didn't watch this after seeing some low reviews but decided to give it 10 minutes then enjoyed watching the whole thing- it's fun, it's light but with a constant threat of being vaporised, most of all it has a huge range of audience. Young teens and adults will delight at different jokes.

A round of applause goes to the four leading roles, Vicky Mike and Joe are the perfect rag tag trio of alien overlords we all hope for - they've come up North to look for a working class liaison after having quite enough of 'experts' in LON-Don lol!

The star Declan plays his role so well I couldn't commend to four leading characters performance any higher.

The lows for me were only really the rebel/resistance element- I just stopped paying as much attention during those scenes- I wish also the last 20 minutes were better - it has quite an underwhelming ending and felt rushed in places. Some jokes deserved more attention- some deserved less but overall Im sad it's over a one off as I could have happily watched these characters go on all sorts of adventures together.

A solid 9 as just an easy fun watch, low budget British comedy with a sci fi twist - thank you for making it - fingers crossed for more like this please!
