What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

When an advanced race of giant lobsters from outer space land on Earth, no one can figure out why they've come. A complete failure to communicate on both ends leads to panic and pandemonium. Why are they here? What do they want? In this clever throwback to the ‘50s B-movie, a small neighbourhood learns the value of clear communication.
