Alien Autopsy was never going to attract the avid movie fan. Ant & Dec - love 'em or hate 'em - are very
popular TV stars, but with the best will in the world, they're not the best actors. It's wise, then, that they've chosen
to infuse this big screen outing with some of their cheeky charm instead of playing it totally straight. It certainly
needs it too, because as far as British comedy dramas go (
Ant & Dec, bless 'em, give it a good shot but succeed only in proving they're best at television. The two chaps seem
out of their depth on the big screen and it feels a little, erm, alien, watching them up there. Not only that, the editing
is bizarre in places, giving the impression of a last-minute reshuffle, and some of the minor characters - specifically
the woman on the plane - seem to be left hanging as if more was written and subsequently dropped to limit the
running time. Overall the feel is that of a rushed low-budget affair, rather than a polished feature presentation.
Where it succeeds is in its good nature, its cosy Britishness and the undeniable effortless charisma of the two leads -
in a way, it's similar to The Last of the Summer Wine.
