Saw last night on Film4+1 (the movie channel for the skint, and moolah challenged)!
Thought it was hilarious. You think you've seen stuff like it before, but you really haven't! It does go for the cheap laughs, in its languidly paced, dead-pan way, but overall quite satisfying. Unsuspecting normality of suburbia, peppered with amusing quirks!
A little subversive too, against that which is expected: socially, and the state of the movie market!
Love the way it's made around the mid-noughties, has a setting that reflects the mid-90s, but has this retro 80s feel!
Thinking about it, and briefly writing about it brings about a smile - it's quite brilliant and original!
Definitely a triumph of the generic 'geek' without appropriating the stock use of Star Wars, Star Trek et al. and perhaps one that I identify with personally!
