The breakdown:  A story of two sci-fi nerds who find and help a real alien.

This is a cute and funny story about how two English science fiction nerds discover an alien in need of help while visiting America.  While driving cross country to visit Comic-Con and visit various alien related hot spots they see a car crash and stop to help.  They find only an alien named Paul who speaks English, smokes, and drinks.  Paul needs help to escape the government and to get back home.  The two nerds agree to help him and they pick up a religious one-eyed woman along the way, only because she sees Paul. 

It's pretty vulgar, but it's a cute little movie.
I enjoyed it and give it a 4 out of 5 for being fresh and creative.
