PHIL THE ALIEN
|
Phil the Alien is a classic coming-of-age story, told through the bloodshot eyes of an alcoholic alien. Phil crashes into a small town in Northern Ontario, befriends a young boy and a super-intelligent beaver, and quickly develops a heavy drinking problem. Phil is an innocent lost in the wilderness. He learns that everyone in town (children included) drinks hard liquor and carries a gun. Surrounded by hunters, prostitutes, an ex-CIA operative, and other northern misfits, Phil becomes close with the local bar band. Phil the Alien is an original comedy that delivers laughs on multi-dimensional levels, literally.
