Alien at the Movies

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

It's generation gap envy when a childless forty-something couple (Ben Stiller & Naomi Watts) ditch their married-with-children friends after meeting a twenty-something couple (Adam Driver & Amanda Seyfried). Predictable comedy laugh situations are created as this older pair abandon their normal values and try to emulate their new found friends. However, the storyline becomes more serious when Stiller's character suspects an ulterior motive is involved from the younger couple. Alien enjoyed the old versus new school contrasts and surprised by the comedy to drama twist.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "hip hop & hats" stars out of 4.
