In a world where humanity has made first contact, the most terrifying alien force imaginable is about to be unleashed: awkward small talk. Zach Galifianakis stars as a mild-mannered government linguist tasked with the impossible job of communicating with a newly discovered, inscrutable entity known only as "The Something." Desperate and out of his depth, he recruits his two equally unqualified best friends, played by Seth Rogen and Bill Hader, to help him navigate a bureaucratic nightmare of cosmic proportions. What begins as a simple translation mission quickly spirals into a chaotic and hilarious struggle for survival, as the trio discovers that interstellar diplomacy involves less advanced science and more navigating bizarre alien customs, their own personal baggage, and a severe lack of appropriate snacks. Directed by Rodney Rothman, this raucous sci-fi comedy blends slapstick humor with existential dread, asking the profound question: if you finally meet an alien, what do you actually say?
