About
You may enjoy this if you like weird, kid-friendly sci-fi comedies with lots of absurd gags, somewhere between RocketMan and Surf Ninjas; Not for you if you want sharp wit or a polished story.
Pros: delightfully silly tone; imaginative alien world; memorable oddball laughs | Cons: very dumb humor; uneven pacing; hit-or-miss jokes
