Can of Worms

The film presents a tale as old as time...but no less fun for it.

I think this movie is funny. It is a quirky concept for a movie but it's one that kids will enjoy. I saw it for the first time when I was probably 10 on Disney channel. I thought it was great. I still do. It is a kids movie and kids get it. I love it. Sure the acting isn't the best, but hey, its for KIDS. They don't care. They'll love the weird aliens. It's just a good kids movie. Kids like to create stories which don't make sense to anyone but themselves. This movie is just like that. It makes sense to kids and anyone who understands kids. You just need to watch it and not try to think to hard. Just take it as it is, enjoy the randomness. Love the aliens. My favorite is the dog. But that's just me. Kids will like it.

About a teenaged boy suffering rejection angst who messages The Universe to come and take him away because he doesn't belong on earth. The movie overall is "sweet" - no one is too awful, and nothing too terrible happens to him. The production values are so low as to become distracting; i.e., the aliens are not cute or interesting, the halloween dance has a total of about 20 participants, and his "high tech equipment" consists of a laptop and a backyard satellite dish. You have never heard of any of the actors in this, except for the kid nextdoor neighbor. I watched it because TV Guide rated it very very highly - I wonder what they were thinking of.

I have no idea what convinced the makers of this movie to make it, but this was the strangest, most discusting, most bizarre movie i have ever seen. The idea of a kid being an alien and not knowing it, and then sending a message to space for them to come get him, strikes me as odd. The acting was poor, and the script sounded like it had been written by a ten year old. On a scale of 1 to 10 i give it a 2.

Is a really weird movie. But you already knew that. What you didn't know is that it is extremely mediocre and mildly entertaining.
