    Brilliant little sci-fi comedy
    Full disclosure: I watched Drones pretty much knowing what to expect. As a long time fan of The Thrilling Adventure Hour I'm well acquainted with Acker & Blacker's style of writing. So it's no wonder that I found the movie highly enjoyable.

    The writing is just brilliant, creating a dialogue-driven story about aliens AND office romance at the same time. The absurd sci-fi elements are interwoven with the mundane problems of office workers dealing with their daily tasks and messy personal lives. There's no big action scenes and yet the movie keeps the viewer engaged the whole time.

    The cast is also quite perfect. Jonathan M. Woodward is great in the main role, and as already mentioned in many other reviews, he channels Bill Murray wonderfuly. Samm Levine and Angela Bettis as the aliens - each from a different race - are both brilliant and a pleasure to watch. It's also great that the movie features a number of actors I loved in the Thrilling Adventure Hour, including James Urbaniak, Marc Evan Jackson, and a voice appearance by the one and only Paul F. Tompkins.

    All in all, Drones is a tiny little gem that is easy to overlook due to its comparatively low budget and action which is much slower than in blockbuster sci-fi movies. But anyone who enjoys witty comedy with a touch of slice-of-life truth about the human condition will surely find it a really enjoyable watch.
