From Other Worlds

A lazily but fun movie about a depressed housewife who's had an alien 👽 abduction! How winky is that? The movie proceeds with her meeting up with a fellow abductee from the Ivory Coast. They discuss their burned in tattoos with zeal and surprise and learn they're involved with the ancient city of Alexandria. I don't want to tell you much more, but it's lazy unfolding of the plot is what gives it it's charm. Try it, you'll like it! I'm Amazon this month, cheers, Murf

I really enjoyed this movie, it has good funny moments, and not a grotesc humor that sometimes they use to mock the whole concept of aliens. I don't believe in aliens myself but I don't like to make fun of other people beliefs. Acting is really good. Overall satisfying, if you want to have a good time without nudity and/or violence, this is the right movie. I don't know why the low rating, people give high ratings to movies with known actors, many of those movies I don't enjoy at all, full of vulgarity, cursing, nudity and violence, always giving bad teachings, mocking of vegetarians, protestants and virgin people, yeah that's Hollywood unfortunately, I am all those things and I proudly say it. So yes this movie is very enjoyable, well done!

Fun quirky little movie with decent acting and interesting characters. Several actors I've seen before and didn't realize I had until the movie was over. Look for Robert Downey Sr in a small role and Melissa Leo. I've seen lots of less entertaining movies with really bad acting. This was one I'd never heard of but was pleasantly surprised by. I'd recommend it if you are looking for a fun movie that will keep you engaged to see how it's going to end.

I kept wondering whether to take it at face value. Took me awhile to decide what this movie really was, a spoof or a genuine comedy. It was t perfect but I did enjoy it.

Superb character development of the lead as she starts out as a cold, dumpy housewife and goes through hilarious situations that metamorphosize her to thermonuclear hotness, wow. By the end of the story she looked to be on the verge of spontaneous combustion, like dayum. The supporting actors were all excellent as well in their distinctive roles which all fit in perfectly with the quirky premise and story line. The agent man from FBI, CIA, triple-a, take your pick, and the library clerk combined to deliver tongue in cheek comedy gold. This movie draws you in, tickles your funny bone and touches your heart. Bravo.

I will not go through the details of the movie as you will have more fun watching it unfold. Basically, a bored housewife finds a purpose and has an adventure following clues to possibly save mankind. In the process, she learns a lot about the Ivory Coast. A mysterious man follows her progress; whom can he be?

Nice background music with titles you will not recognize.
