    Edit
    • Trivia
      Written and directed by Lister-Jones and her husband Daryl Wein.
    • Goofs
      The asteroid's high speed journey through the atmosphere would have only been seconds or a few minutes at most, so the fireball should only have appeared at the very end of the movie.
    • Quotes

      Liza: What is this? Ezra?

      Ezra: I'm just kinda trying to keep in touch with people that I love. First, how are you?

      Liza: I haven't seen him since his bar mitzvah.

      Ezra: I love you. And number two, there's this fucking party and it's kinda like the last like hurrah.

      Young Liza: Is he shirtless?

      Liza: Yes.

      Young Liza: He's kinda hot.

      Liza: He's your cousin.

      Young Liza: I know, but.

      Ezra: Or whatever you call it. And so, I was wondering if you could buy me some alcohol.

    5/10
    Okay film with interesting premise but worn down storytelling
    Fine premise although undercooked and dragged down by the unnecessary cameo stars with almost identical YOLO 'all-american' agenda of their characters. One can get it from first maybe second iteration, but when story repeats itself again and again the senses are wear out.

    Also the proverbial hero journey is little bit on the nose in this story. Which is not bad, but with great pandemic limitations this concept could be little bit more sophisticated. Now this film looks like kinda good pilot to easy-watch tv, maybe youtube show or miniseries, and sadly it doesn't provide such satisfaction.

    Both leads are great though, and movie is definitely worth to check out.
