Alien at the Movies

It's "The King of Kong" meets "Independence Day" meets "Ghost Busters" meets "Revenge of the Nerds" when aliens misinterpret Earth's 1982 cultural message as a declaration of war. This nostalgic look back at long past video arcade games features three of today's popular comedians, Adam Sandler (a home theater installer), Josh Gad (a conspiracy theorist), and Kevin James (the U.S. President, no way?). It's a hilarious silly action spoof on space invasion films. Chances are if you don't get the game references, go ask your dad. This comedy may be better than you think if you give it a try. Don't jump out of your seat too fast because there is one final gag at the beginning of the credits.

Alien gives it 3 "Centipede, Pac Man, & Donkey Kong" stars out of 4.
