ESCAPE FROM PLANET EARTH (Theatrical Release USA 2013)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì

Escape From Planet Earth—it’s funny, has a good story line, and it has been unfairly under-rated by critics. It has a ‘different take’ on an alien story and generates a general, light hearted approach to human-type dilemmas.
