This is sort of like a lite version of BRAZIL; which takes a standard 60s sit-com plot of a middle-class working father who has to impress his boss with a dinner at the family home; and sets it in some futuristic/alien world.
It has quite impressive production values, great set design, and a fairy tight little script.
All the child actors especially show a lot of enthusiasm and great personality.
Very enjoyable if you like escapist storytelling. It would probably make an enjoyable rainy-day video for the family during holidays.
