I love Peele and his Key and Peele show was one of the best comedy shows ever but this movie was just not good. Made no sense - some alien space ship sucking people up including around 40 people watching an outdoor show, talked about some TV program with a killer monkey which had no purpose and the director with the camera who figured heck with it, might as well go meet the aliens, and some kid from the local electronics store gets involved and the big balloon thing at end that apparently destroyed the ship somehow, etc. etc. Everything just made no sense, Most of the movie was about them trying to get a picture of this ship so they could be famous and rich but for various reasons, could not do that. It was not scary or suspenseful or interesting, just made no sense and no idea why OJ decided to basically commit suicide at end. Can't say this enough - just made no sense.

I enjoyed the movie but what struck me was not the performers who were there but those that were not. Stevie Wonder, Gladys Night, Sly and the Stone, 5thDimension, etc. were all young and were there because they all had recent hits but most of top black stars from that time were not there like James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Aretha, Supremes, Smokey, etc. Just seemed to me that the only top name black stars that came out were the gospel singers with Mahalia Jackson, Staple Singers, etc. I would have expected more of the established black performers of that time to be there but again, it was a good movie. Wonder how many people recognized Redd Foxx in that brief cameo?

I love Michelle Yeoh who is as pretty now as she was twenty years ago in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but this show was just too weird. Had no idea what was going on, scenes changed by the minute and even the second, dialogue was fast, just a very weird movie. Will give the writer/director credit, must have been hard making this but just was too fast paced and too confusing and too weird but on the plus side, Michelle Yeoh is still damn attractive.

Too high brow or two intelligent or too something for me but I did not get it at all. Really disappointed for had some big name actors in it. Thought would be a quirky comedy which I like but was not quirky or comedy, just confusing and boring. Sure add that during the film, several people got up and walked out, they felt like I did that just an enjoyable movie.
