    A quirky hidden gem

    Stumbled across this one night and it is just brilliantly funny. It follows a group of four blokes who meet up as part of a group investigating the existence of ufos.

    It is shot in mockumentary style, and the humour comes from oddball characters but played straight.

    You genuinely build up some affection for the characters, there is a bit of drama in there involving a disgraced former member and as the credits roll you want to see more of their world. It really would be great to have some sort of sequel or series that keeps the story going.

    Big fan, I will certainly be watching for future work from those involved.

    Light hearted comedy

    I really enjoyed the humour of this film, it was a very light hearted comedy. I enjoyed the different characters and what each one offered to the movie. With a few really laugh out loud moments throughout.

    It was fun, silly and really enjoyable.

    Brilliant acting in my opinion, as I don't think the characters are like that in real life, so to act the way they do is brilliant.

    If you've ever watched Morris, with the morris dancers then I think you'll enjoy this very British comedy.

    I would recommend UFOLOGISTS to my family and friends.

    I'm looking forward to future films Jason and Mel produce, I for one, enjoyed this movie.

    Close Encounters of the British Kind

    Writing and executing a film that is both heartwarming and funny is no easy feat, but Ufologists manages it with a blend of subtlety and absurdity.

    It's less a film about aliens and more a story about people and wonderfully bonkers British eccentricity. It stands as a true antithesis to the seriousness and drudgery of modern life, offering a much-needed dose of escapism-now more than ever.

    While it doesn't quite reach the heights of Roma, it is every bit as emotive and rewarding as any of Ricky Gervais's acclaimed works.

    We could all use a little less Starmer-and a bit more Starman-in our lives.

    Absolutely what we needed

    Uncertain of what we were in for, we decided to watch UFOLOGISTS and settled in for our Friday Night Movie. Almost immediately, we found ourselves laughing and fully engaged with the characters. The film brought to mind beloved comedies like The Office and Fawlty Towers, delivering humor in a way that felt nostalgic and reminiscent of my younger days.

    As the credits rolled, we found ourselves craving more. This film truly elevated our family's Friday Night Movie experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.

    If you're on the hunt for a family-friendly film, look no further than UFOLOGISTS. It will transport you back to the classic comedies of yesteryear!

    Lacks everything

    Unoriginal. I was surprised to see how recently this mockumentary was made, since it resembled a short i made as a student 20 years ago, and was a popular theme back then.

    It has some vaguely amusing moments, but it's mostly a collection of awkwardly unfunny 'sketch's', no thread, no narrative structure at all.

    The stereotypical characters lack any kind of depth.

    I think I can see what the filmmakers were trying to do, but it didn't work.

    I held on till the end, hoping something was going to happen to make it all worthwhile. Nothing happened!

    It could've worked as a short, but a film this length needs more structure.
