phil the alien be one of those quirky film where the humour be base around the oddness of everything rather than actual punchlines . at first it be very odd and pretty funny but a the movie progress i do not find the joke or oddness funny anymore . it a low budget film ( thats never a problem in itself ) and there be some pretty interesting character and but eventually i just lose interest . i imagine this film would appeal to a stoner who be currently partake . for something similar but good try brother from another planet .
