Watch Phil the Alien For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is my most favorite film of all time and I know that is a big call. What I most enjoy is that when Phil first lands he is a blank piece of paper and as the story progresses he just mimics those around him and then becomes part of their friendship circle. This is a great truism of modern life and a replication of how babies learn. What we also see is how the modern world starts to affect Phil in a number of ways, particularly in the negative sense with his growing addiction to alcohol which he calls medicine and also cigarettes and religion. His religious addition is the funniest scene in the film when he returns to see his friends at the bar in the guise of Jesus.

Rob Stefaniuk is my new Hero.... The Writing... The Direction.... And one of the most memorable Comic Performances I've ever seen. This film gets funnier with every viewing. Everyone who sees it seems to agree--This is one of the funniest freakin' films to come out of any Country on any Budget. His writing is brilliant- those of us who've crash-landed in strange new places, who've spent many an afternoon drinking with the band in nondescript Canadian Taverns, will all agree....this is a timeless story told with the courageous heart & tender insight of a master storyteller. This film will live forever.

Great 420 fare. One of the better low budget movies I've seen. They're not TRYING to make some cinematic tour-DE-force...oh you too serious detractors in comments above. It's supposed to be cheesy and silly. They're just goofing off and it totally works for a fun movie. The performances are good, purposefully cliché, and I actually think it's shot beautifully. Some of the landscape shots are especially gorgeous. I say check it out. Cause crap like Memoirs of a Geisha and King Kong suck. At least this movie will entertain you.wow ten lines. what is this, school? okay, hmmmm. i also recommend these films that are funny: uncle buck, orange county, rushmore and kindergarten cop.

After putting myself through this movie, I've asked what is this all about? Well I don;t know how to describe this movie, but I've came to one conclusion "Phil the alien" is gay. And this movie sheds an interesting light at how can one fit into a new environment without trying to put to many heads outta place.This is the only thing I could truly think of as an overall plot for the movie. Expect for some rather qwerky moments I wouldn't rate this movie highly at all those, most will disagree. This biggest let down is how the movie keeps cutting in n out with scenes, specially a lot that meant nothing to the overall movie. The music also was annoying after a while, that was louder than anythin else so my guess this is a student type of film who are trying also to promote a band.At the end of the day I feel more attention to this movie as whole, more thinking could of made a more of meaninful movie.
