Less than satisfying and frustrating to think of how great this could have been.
Top CriticA delightfully freakish comedy.
Looks like it was shot on weekends by a bunch of students, with a loopy, derivative story and poor performances.
This low-budget Canadian comedy rocks the house like few others.
Amateurish and low-budget skit on film has its moments, but mostly in its first half. This film could be a lot more polished but the Canadian humor is genuinely funny.
...instantly forgettable...
There's an irrepressible silliness and a palpable sense of kitsch that runs through much of Phil the Alien. And it's funny.
