Plot Overview: A Cosmic Close Encounter

The script relies heavily on physical comedy and catchphrases that fall flat. The "humor" is derived almost entirely from the juxtaposition of adult voices coming out of toddler bodies, a gag that wears thin within the first ten minutes.

The production relies on a unique blend of high-profile veteran actors, voiceover talent, and identical twins to bring the talking infants to life.
