Ben Kingsley plays a man living quietly in a small town. Things change when a UFO crashes in his backyard and the inhabitant wanders into his home and his life. Meanwhile, two friends (Harriet Sansom Harris & Jane Curtin) add to the concerns. While this is billed as a comedy, it’s not funny. There is a light-hearted tone, but it’s mostly living in the “sweet” lane. Issues of aging are introduced and it’s def less upbeat than most of the films being released these days with a primary cast over 65. The alien character (played by Jade Quon) is interesting, but is basically a quiet sounding board for the humans. Fortunately, the actors all do a fine job, which helps this odd little film find its heart.
