"Luis and the Aliens"

Many people believe we are not alone in the universe. Whether its spirits and ghost or intelligent extraterrestrial lifeforms from other galaxies. One thing we do know is that the universe is so vast and complex with all forms of energy and biological material that makes up everything from bacteria to human beings that it would be foolish to say that there's no chance of anything existing outside our reality. Yet most of us will never experience such things, but what might one do if they got the chance? This movie gives one boy's answer.

Luis Sonntag (Callum Maloney) is a lonely 11-year old boy who seems to be raising himself while his father Armin (Dermont Magennis) while loving is too obsessed with proving the existence of other lifeforms that he has no time for things such as mowing the lawn, making breakfast or even noticing that its Luis's birthday.
Things for Luis go from bad to worse when the principal calls in Ms. Diekendaker (Lea Thompson) who seems keen on taking Luis away from his neglectful father. As Luis tries to find a way to keep himself from being taken away, he stumbles across three aliens who are in search of an informercial vibrating massage mat that they picked up on Earth's satellite signal and want to get one before they run out. In exchange for his help, the three aliens work to help their new Earthling friend pull the wool over Ms. Diekendaker's eyes while keeping any outside forces from blowing their plan, including Luis's father from finding them out.

Space-tastic adventure for the whole family. This somewhat cheesy, yet clever story will delight children and deliver a heartful message on the importance of family and friendship with a few plot twist thrown into the mix. A sweet comical flick that gets an out of this world rating of four and a half G.M.Stars to take back to the mother ship for all lifeforms to enjoy.
