Well I wasn't expecting much from this movie, maybe a cheap laugh or two. What I got was an enjoyable, highly entertaining, fun movie. The concept is stupid, but of course, that's the point and just adds to the charm. The way in which its done means it never really goes over the top or for the easy laugh. I think this is a well written and very well acted movie. There's a host of familiar faces on show, Peter Stormare (Fargo), Gillian Jacobs (Community) and Patrick Warburton (Rules of Engagement) to name a few. I felt this movie to be very much from a similar vein as Gremlins even down to Milo himself who reminded of a Shaved Gizmo. Just Fantastic, highly recommend.

Fun, fast-paced and just good fun !
30 July 2012
Saw this film not really expecting too much but boy was I in for a good time. Its fun, fast paced and never takes its self too seriously. I found the cast to be engaging and enjoyable to watch, with possibly the exception of Dane Cook but that guy just irks me anyway.The effects may have lacked a certain ''Hollywood'' polish but did the trick just fine and in my opinion complimented the feel of the movie well. There are lots of riffs and references to other movies/actors, trying to spot them all just adds to the overall entertainment value. Certainly requires more than one viewing to take it all in.
There are a lot worse ways to kill an hour and a half.
See it for yourself.
