My quick rating - 5,2/10. As long as you can get past the fairly silly dubbing, this is actually a fun movie. Is it a great movie? Not really. It is very inconsistent in quality being sometimes really funny and other times way too involved in their inside jokes. Two old friends from back in their "competitive" laser tag days are reunited at a bachelor party. One of them has grown up and moved on from his childish ways while the other one is still stuck in his youth glory fantasy world of being a champion. More or less your typical buddy formula for the comic relief needed. But things get turned when aliens invade and arrive to take over the world. The special effects throughout this are well done in being campy as heck but totally on purpose. The fact that director Martin Sofiedal completely got what he should do and worked with the budget and not against it was part of what makes this "fun" as I mentioned. At no point did they take this one seriously aside from when they tried to get that grow up or not message across. That is always par for the course of buddy comedies. If you are interested in something a bit different that is strictly there for laughs, I think you should give this one a whirl if for no other reason but get some originality and see what those Norweigans are up to.Streaming now on Netflix.
