IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip 2 weeks agoNo, it’s an existential horror novel about having your body stolen so some alien can get laid. It just has romantic tie-ins with the alien trying to get laid.

The movie should have leaned into that instead of, uh, whatever it was doing.

Holy shit, just reading the plot from the wiki page I can tell it was bad. Honestly the way you described it initially made it sound way more interesting, as if there was only the one alien struggling to navigate human society as it falls in love with a human.
Instead it’s full of post-societal Armageddon survivor main-character tropes that could only have been written by the same person that decided vampires sparkle instead of smolder in the sun.
