It's rare that I am surprised (or suckered) by a movie, by hype, or by a misleading trailer. But this one just didn't do it for me. Now, I see the high IMDb rating, and I trust that, more or less. So I do believe most people really like this movie.
But not me. I just didn't laugh. I could see most jokes coming before they got there. Same for the punch lines. It was like watching comedy writing in very slow motion. I realize Seth is a comedic icon of our time, but his voice just did not fit that alien. I couldn't get past it. It was weird.
Throughout the movie, I could *see* what they were trying to do. It was forced, fake and usually awkward. The timing wasn't there. The characters were cartoon-y. I just didn't buy it.
I did have a couple laughs during this movie. But mostly, I left disappointed.
