there was one reason in particular that i didnt see this one in the theater: seth rogan's voice.  sure, seth rogan is funny at times, but it is so distinctive that i just could not buy it coming out of this alien.
the story follows two brits who decide to have the geekiest vacation ever: they come america to attend the san diego comic con and then travel across the country to visit all the different alien landings and other kitschy sights.  after the con they head out to roswell to see where the aliens supposedly landed.  well, they just so happen to run into an actual alien!  the three of them and their winnebago have a run in with a very innocent woman who decides to tag along and a few government agents who are hot on their tails.
this movie is made for the nerds, those who like video games, comic books, movies, and alien stuff.  i really wanted to like it, simon pegg is usually a blast.  unfortunately this one was a bit of a miss.  they did a great job of making the alien a believable character, the problem though was that the character wasnt very funny or interesting.  the humor was weak and the story fizzled out after they left the comic con, which means it fell apart after the first five minutes!
