J: DEAL

yes this is a tag review that means i do a film review while joe-jack does something on my blog i also have a wrestling reference jar every time i make a wrestling reference i will put a euro in the jar.
okay so lets dig in!
the film starts with a film within a film. where a young alien named Echo is found by his mother watching a scary sci-fi called HUMANIACS. Remember this because this is a major plotline. we now get a set piece to that dire lollipop song. this is how we see usually see the world created for these animated films. and this world is  is sci-fi and 50s based. a visiual joke of children playing hopscotch on crop-circles raised a chuckle and a running joke of a alien dog that looks like the xenomorph from Alien. the flying saucers resemble Studebakers And chevys, the female aliens wear skirts and are barefoot while the males wear shirts and are bare legged.

"WE AINT GONNA WEAR NO PANTS!"
WRESTLING REFERENCE JAR CONTENTS : €1

Okay when the story kicks in we met our 1st protagonist,Echos brother Limb.His parents Exposistions that he got the job as junior assistant of the towns obversatory.he is so proud of this that he musters up the courage to talk to Nera (the voice of Jessica Biel), a girl he fancies but find out that she is involved with a hippie alien named Glars (the voice of Chris Masterson aka Hyde from that 70s show how has being type cast as a hippie for a decade now)

we cut to base 9 a secret base where the army study/cover up the exsistance of humans by stealing satelites inside a moon-rover activates. Its mission to find its owner!

and that is our cue to met our star!

During meteor shower a shuttle pod lands in Limbs Garden causing mass hysteria so he lands in the only place where he will be safe. the observertory where limb works.after metting and limb talks down to Chuck(played by the ROCK) The astronaut thinks that Limb is coming on to him
"the fact of the matter is this Michael cole do you like ...pie or do like the rocks...strudel? what way do you swing?"
WRESTLING REFERENCE JAR CONTENTS €2
Back at limbs house,the army lead by Gary Oldman storm the spaceship removing its items. one of them is a copy of gq with the rocks carector on the cover(bit of trivia apart from david beckham, the rock has the record for the most gq cover for a non soccor sportsman. and because i know this i lose another euro!)
WRESTLING JAR CONTENTS€3
As well as an iPod which is turned on by accident.
It plays the Macarena. and since this is the 50s the aliens scream in terror.

which is why i spent the 90s waiting for the 80s music to get back in fashion!

Of couse the General played by oldman concludes that its a weapon and that chuck is dangerous. Because of the film in the cinema the aliens think humans can make people into zombies. So chuck tells Limb, echo, limbs friend scrif, and two soldiers convinced that they are zombies (dont ask) that he needs to get back to the shuttle in 48 hours. if he doesnt the space will move out of orbit stranding Chuck forever. Limb trys to get chuck on tv to explain this to the world but the tv crew secretly film chuck as he does lines from famous sci-fi films. limb realises that saying chuck is dangerous just to save his own skin making Nera think he is a jerk,having his house quarrintined and becoming a fugitive is ruining his life.

However Chuck and Limb realised that they are alike. two arrogant people who broke down when things went wrong. they also realise that Rover(the moon-rover that acts like a dog i am so not joking here!) can track the shuttle to base nine in the dessert but its a trap as the general and professer Kipple (John Cleese) plan to lobotomise the human. so a daring rescue is made as Limb makes a truce with Glars as they save Chuck who was naked for examination.
Scrif says thats a funny place for a antenna!
*facepalm*
how around this line its much better!
"stop looking at the People Package! NO,NO.The buffet is closed!
Dahmmit!

Buts too late as the shuttles automatic timer reaches zero as it blasts its engines starting fire.A REAL INFERNO! MATCH!
WRESTLING REFERENCE JAR CONTENTS €5
But chuck saves the General because this the Disney film and people dont die in those! and chuck gives the aliens a trip to outer space.
so time to wrap this up.

Limb and nera get together, rover gets to live with scrib, the general apoligies to Chuck, and chuck heads back to earth,with Xenomorph dog stowing away to open door for a sequel.

but there wont be a sequel because this film started third on the three new release world-wide!the other two were the acclaimed harry potter and the over-hyped Twi-Shite: Poo Moon! which is a shame because this was okay not bad but just okay. the rocks major problem that he works for disney. which means he doesnt get the action or comedy roles he could excel in. with that said this was Johnsons best outing for a while now Lets just hope his next film is not something stupid like him being a football player who dies and become the tooth fairy and even wears a Tu-tu!

But surely hes got more dignity than that right?
RIGHT?
