Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same (US 2011)



The Gist:
When they are determined to be a threat to their planet's environment because of their "big feeling," three alien lesbians are shipped off to earth to fix them. That is, the Earth lesbian dating scene sucks so bad that it will break their hearts and eliminate those pesky emotions, er "big feelings."

Except that it does not go quite to plan and one of the aliens, Zoinx, ends up in a relationship with a bit of a sad sack woman named Jane, while two "Men in black" guys observe the goings on. 

Comments:
It's difficult to make a low budget comedy which riffs on bad low budget movies without ending up bad in the process, but this movie succeeds. Well, mostly. There are parts that are a bit rough / are weaker than others. Also, while it is funny, the jokes, at least for me, were a bit more smirky humorous than laugh out loud hilarious.

Even though I think it was well done, it is not something I'd recommend without hesitation unless you were into oddball, quiet humor, have a high tolerance for nonsensical plots, and a love for silly 50’s sci-fi B-movies. 

Women:
Well, yes… Obviously 

People of Color:
Some of the Earth women dates 

Gratuitous nudity:
No
