There has to be more to insightful absurdity than having an alien food influencer singing a review of to-go spaghetti.

It could be more adventurous, but what Boys Go to Juper lacks in teeth it makes up for with heart—and that’s just fine for a cultural moment when everything outside the movies has audiences going fangs out.

The filmmaker’s quiet confidence unites what might otherwise seem like a grab bag of bits.

Cheers to Glander for marching to his own beat, but for me – a Gen-Xer who just ain’t feeling it – Boys Go to Jupiter is a near-miss.
