This movie came to me in a dream. When I awoke from my slumber I realized i'd never seen it before so I decided to watch it right when I woke up at 9:00 AM. This film is often compared to E.T. , but it is far different. Unlike E.T. this movie takes unbelievable risks that surprisingly work, for example the dance party in the McDonalds parking lot. And to think they got the REAL Ronald McDonald to star in this movie. I think I even spotted a fetus-like Paul Rudd. Spoiler alert: when the fire broke out in the market parking lot I almost broke down and cried. I think a single tear shed from my eyes as I watched the aliens blaze. The amount of Coke and McDonalds product placements in this movie is truly inspiring. The only thing that would have made this movie better was if they had fed Eric (the main character) Skittles and Cocoa-cola to save him after he tragically took a shot to the heart. 10/10 would watch again.
