1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Music/Blink182's "Aliens Exist" was used in the marketing, and it perfectly captures the tone of the film, with memorable lyrics and a hardcore riff. |
2 | * ClicheStorm: Deliberately uses a lot of cliches from 1950s alien invasion movies. However, some found this palette swap a little boring. |
3 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: The Alien Dog is a fan-favorite for being a great homage to ''Franchise/{{Alien}}''. |
4 | * HoYay: Chuck and Lem are basically flirting through the whole movie. Some of their dialogue {{lampshades}} this. |
5 | --> '''Skiff:''' I think Lem's saying [[ItMakesSenseInContext he wants the closet]]. |
6 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/JamesCorden voices one of the military officers. |
7 | * SignatureLine: "That's a funny place for his antenna". |
8 | * TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: |
9 | ** They could have done so much more with the HumansThroughAlienEyes concept, thrown in some weird alien biology, a few alien customs, and it wouldn't spoil the 1950s gags excessively, but the alien world is almost identical to Earth, making the "alien invasion role-swap" premise little more than a matter of swapped aesthetics. |
10 | ** Furthermore, the aliens' ignorance of the size of outer space could have been an interesting commentary on the close-mindedness of humankind, but it is ultimately thrown away after Lem attempts to make his speech. |
11 | * TrailerJokeDecay: Chuck landing, walking through town and planting a flag before noticing the aliens. |
12 | %% * SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: This movie looks well done for a rather small budget. |
13 | * WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: It's a fun kids cartoon movie, but has some raunchy innuendos, not to mention it's from one of the screenwriters of the ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' franchise. |
