5/5 stars* - Iโd give it 10 stars if I could! โSave Yourselves!โ was an extremely charming movie. The main characters Jack and Sue were the perfect California/New York-type, millennial generation city slickers forced to face an Earth shattering alien invasion during a spontaneously planned countryside vacation requiring them to fend for themselves while civilization is collapsing - all without access to the internet.
Sunita Mani (co-star #1 โSueโ) is an extremely strong actress, John Paul Reynolds (co-star #2 โJackโ) was absolutely believably hilarious, and Hudson Osika (supporting character โBaby Jackโ) was the cutest baby with the squishiest littlest adorablest googogahgah face. Sorry. I apologize... He was absolutely adorable though, trust me.
It was nice to watch fresh faces acting in a well-produced movie, with a unique yet relatable script. The plot line slowly thickened as predictability faded into the spectacular with the ending leaving me thoroughly amused. It was an interesting combination of Romance, Comedy, and Science Fiction displaying some edge-of-chair moments and a bit of CGI that was impressively implemented. The cherry on top? Itโs a family friendly movie that will be greatly enjoyed while watching in the company of loved ones.
I highly recommend watching this movie if youโre looking for something that will make you laugh, give you a thrill, and ultimately warm your heart. That ending scene was... wow. Beautifully done. Iโve heard and seen pictures of those bubble shaped, rounded UFOs before... you know what..? MAYBE THE FLOOF IS REAL!?! :)
Loved it! Again, highly recommended.
