Review of Grabbers

Grabbers (2012)
4/10
Could have been great - without the dramatic scenes
11 September 2013
I was looking forward to watch Grabbers. The premise of an alien race that cannot cope with alcohol landing on Ireland -the merry country of drink until you spew out your entrails- couldn't sound more hilarious.

Unfortunately, for some reason, they decided to actually go easy on the funny crazy stuff and give this film more seriousness that it should have. The romantic/dramatic scenes really ruin the movie for me. It could have been much better if this would have been just a goofy, plain crazy flick.

The special effects surprised me greatly. I was expecting more shabbiness and they actually were pretty good.

Alas, people looking for a good laugh, I'd recommend looking somewhere else. This film tries to take itself too serious some times for its own good.
