Save Yourselves! is a quirky dark comedy based following a young Brooklyn couple unplugging from the internet and then, out of nowhere, aliens decide to invade and conquer the world.
Dark comedies have a special place in cinema, they always have that easy flow going for them with jokes and overall wholesomeness. These types of movies always have that one moment where it makes a 180 and just turns into something different entirely. Part of the fun is finding that one turning point and just how crazy it will be.
The best aspect are the two leads, these two elevated the whole movie in an interesting way. Bringing quirky comedy about masculinity, feeling behind in life, not fitting in, can’t live without technology. Most of us can relate to something here and some to even multiple. Comedies covering relevant topics which are highly relatable is a winning strategy and then you are left with this. A fun little minimalistic movie about an alien invasion.
Where it falls short is the ending, I don’t know if it is highly intellectual or just plain stupid. In some movies an ending doesn’t break the experience at all, it is highly enjoyable through 80% of its runtime, but that ending just leaves a bittersweet taste.
Funny and cute is how I would categorize this one and would recommend for a late afternoon or evening watch.
