2022 * TV-MA * 1h 23m I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. And I was very pleasantly surprised. I thought the acting was terrific. The story and writing were both great. I just love little indie films like this. It's sort of a sci-fi, but not really. It's about a woman Vanessa (Jillian Bell) who just lost her business partner and friend from childhood Jennifer (Natalie Morales). She goes to a villa out in the country that she had originally rented to celebrate their business. But now she's going to spend the weekend on her own.
When she gets there, the caterer show up and she's told she can't cancel her arrangements, and she's already paid for the party. So they set up for a big bash, complete with a ton of food and booze.Then a woman arrives who looks exactly like her partner. But, in fact, it's an alien doing research on humans. The two end up getting into a bunch of mischief together. I know it sounds corny, but it's actually very well done. And it's pretty touching as well.I especially liked the scene where the dj shows up and they end up trashing the place while celebrating.
If you're looking for something a bit different, give this one a chance.
