Save Yourselves! (2020)

I had a chance to see this at the drive-in during the earlier days of COVID. I’m glad I didn’t, because after Free Guy and Space Jam, I need a little bit of reassurance about modern filmmaking. In this indie, Sunita Mani and John Reynolds are a Brooklyn couple who take a break from technology and head to upstate New York. Unfortunately while they are gone, Earth comes under attack and they are the last to know. They also quickly realize how ill-suited they are to protect themselves when they don’t have a way to search the internet. They have great chemistry as a couple and are familiar in their moments of support and exasperation with each other. It’s really funny and the alien critters are terribly cute.
