Was when the Sister came home from her trip and found them making the fake film in her kitchen, and the brother says, "It's not what it looks like!" She promptly faints.This film takes the Alien Autopsy hoax and tries to make the two perpetrators look like innocent victims, which I think is a bit of a stretch. But it's kind of hard to feel sorry for anyone they fooled in their scam, even poor Jonathan Frakes. (I don't think his career ever recovered from it.) What makes the film engaging is that the characters are likable and the situation is kind of funny. The acting is pretty decent.SO, yeah, see it. It's fun.

Ant and Dec are surprisingly effective, the production values are excellent - no feel of "low budget" in any scenes, and solid, notable actors support the two leads throughout.Personally, I would have expected more laughs but the story telling doesn't really cater for wall to wall gags. Most of the laughs are derived from Ant and Dec, who display great timing, and I must give them credit for not hogging this film – their screen time serves the story rather than the other way round. The story itself is compelling, interesting and surprising, even for those who, like me, have a basic understanding of the "alien autopsy" scenario.I'd recommend this film to anyone seeking some enjoyable light entertainment. Its not demanding, controversial, edgy or challenging, and its unlikely to offend. Despite the subject matter, it is a mainstream oriented film and its conclusion is both satisfying and non-committal, in terms of whether the whole thing – and I mean the "original film" was a hoax or not. That's pretty shrewd, as it serves no commercial purpose to alienate the UFO believers who would like to believe this whole controversy is based upon a genuine film.

She then asks for Jeffery, whom works in a film lab, to recover the lost footage, he then says: "Don't hold your breath" as in, don't get your hopes up, the regaining of some of the footage in this film is nearly non existent.Santilli then has to remake this Alien Autopsy in Shoefield's sisters house, which she is in Ibiza for a week, but Shoefield's sister comes home early and she then collapses after seeing the fake Alien being.Overall, this is a pretty good film, really good comedy, and the direction is not to shabby, this film is mainly a British comedy, and some of the Americans don't know about it, and for some chaps that the Americans may have not heared of before (Ant and Dec) they were really good actors in it.Recommended to watch if your a Sci-fi buff, Comedy buff, and a Drama buff, all in one.
... View MoreRemember that big scandal about a video showing an alien autopsy? It was proved to be a hoax, although people still believe in it. This is the story of the making of the video, including the idea that the hoax actually started from a real movie.Anyway, who cares? The movie is marginally funny, really indie, and actors like Pullman and Stanton don't really belong in it, but it's OK. It's like a brit gangster movie with little humor and pathetic gangsters. And everything revolves around a video not guns or money. Oh, and it's based on true facts :)Who wants facts anymore? Give me fantasy or give me death!
