The Host | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

It's goofy, corny, and oddly upsetting. I laughed a lot, if only to shake away how weird it actually is.

Wouldn't you know it, interplanetary teenage love is hard. The film is also only as interesting as that maudlin young love sounds.

The acting, as well as Andrew Niccol's writing and direction, are all awful; I can't in good conscience recommend that anyone see this film.

Lazily follows the same formula as Meyer's other works, but insert aliens where you'd think vampires.

The Host might have been stronger as a TV series, with more time to spend on character development and a gradually building plot, but Niccol's cool direction and his solid cast make is a perfectly watchable genre piece.
