As the indie comedy "Save Yourselves" opens, millennial couple Jack (John Reynolds) and Su (Sunita Mani) decide to bust out of their personal and professional ruts by leaving their Brooklyn apartment to spend a week at a friend's remote cabin in the woods upstate and staying completely unplugged from the outside world for the duration. What they don't realize is that while they are out in the middle of nowhere trying to find themselves, aliens resembling fuzzy footstools have landed and are wreaking gory havoc throughout the entire world. When they finally discover what is going on and are forced to move into survival mode, they find themselves woefully ill-equipped for the task at hand. The idea of presenting an apocalyptic sci-fi scenario through the lens of a deadpan hipster comedy- sort of a goofy take on "Cloverfield" but the basic joke of young people so absorbed with themselves that they somehow fail to notice the world literally collapsing around them is not especially unique ( Shaun of the Dead" was a particularly hilarious example of the conceit) and fails to come off here thanks to the repetitive and less-than-insightful contributions by the writing-directing duo of Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, whose observations of their misfit heroes realizing how unsuited they are for self-preservation- they cant even drive a stick shift car properly, dang it! sound more like the comments of a hacky comedian who doesn't get the kids these days. I suppose it could be argued that the increasingly grating performances by Reynolds and Mani work because their characters are meant to be irritating, but after spending just a short amount of time with them, most viewers will be hoping for the aliens to finally finish them off and put us out of their misery.

Please save yourselves from watching this movie...
The girl looks like Daniel-san in his 17...
the dude is just a dude
and this movie is just a waste of time...
