Good:
Humor is on point
Strong opening with the reveal of the aliens & main protagonist's reaction
Good balance of goofiness, pop culture references & high Sci-Fi concepts

Bad:
Plot gets overcomplicated by the end
* Characters feel more like caricatures than human beings with believable emotional reactions, leading to confusing motives
