Two British geeks make a pilgrimage to Comic-con, a convocation of Sci-Fi die-hards who revere special artists. A real alien has escaped custody and desperately needs to reconnoiter with the mother ship. He ends up traveling with our geeks.
- Simon Pegg ("Star Trek") is the perfect tourist: he's excited to be here and wants to visit all the notorious Sci Fi hot spots in this country. It's fun when he points them out on a map.
- Nick Frost ("Pirate Radio") is his sidekick, equally enthusiastic about this road trip in an RV.
- Seth Rogan ("Knocked Up") is Paul. His voice is good, but his dialogue is jarring.
- Jason Bateman ("The Switch") is the inscrutable and relentless Special Services officer chasing them. Bateman is outstanding, as usual!
- Kristen Wiig (LOTS of TV) is a pious hostage...until she isn't pious anymore. Then she too is a fugitive...who has caught a serious case of potty mouth.
- Jane Lynch ("Glee") practically steals the show as a big-haired waitress in a roadside diner.
- Sigourney Weaver ("Avatar") does steal the show. Wait till you see this great grand-dame of Science Fiction classics hitch up her strapless evening gown and wade back into a knock-down, drag- out cat fight!
I won't tell you more because I don't want to spoil it for you.
