That is the dumbest movie idea I have ever seen.

I dont know... Maybe this wont suck. It doesnt look like they Xerox'd 'Napoleon Dynamite' but it does smack of deliberately odd quirkiness.As a dorky kid that was into sci fi from the 80s, this does make me want to check it out.

Jemaine, where's Bret?! This looks to be mildly entertaining, worth watching as an easy-enough and likable escape to follow along with some interest, but I'm stopping short of a clever comedy. The supporting cast needn't always be written as the predictable circus troupe of caricatures - they provide for situational humor but if the preview is indicative, the jokes fell flat. The childhood hero as fraud, mom the overly protective and emotionally unstable wreck who adopts-a-hippy as a friend for her ultra-reclusive little boy, who apparently has no trouble finding a girl with an interest in his unabashedly camp science fiction writing. It just feels a work in extremes, and all done before. Still, I'll buy in as an encore movie on a rental night and hope it charms, but I won't be circling the release date on the calendar.

This is yet another tale of a super-niche geek struggling to overcome the mainstream monsters clogging his world. The fantasy sequences give it a bit of originality compared to previous films by the director, but this preview really does look very unfunny in general. We all want to see a new masterpiece by Hess, but sadly this might not be it. Oh well, 5/5 on hope alone.
