Fun movie, Jim & I both liked it. Simon Pegg (Run, Fat Boy Run) and Nick Frost (Pegg’s co-star/co-writer in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) star as two Brits on holiday in the US to visit Comic Con and take a sci-fi themed road trip when they encounter a real alien (voiced by Seth Rogen). Pegg and Frost also co-wrote the story. Much of what was shown in the previews takes place near the beginning of the film, so there is still more to see. Co-stars include Justin Bateman, Joe Lo Truglio, and 2 SNL stars: Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader. To be fair, Jim and I had a couple of drinks before seeing this film and we had a blast, but the alcohol may have enhanced our experience... If you are offended by profanity, then this potty-mouthed film is not for you. Fun movie.
