“#Roush Review: ‘Resident Alien’ Plays This X-File for Laughs<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n There\u2019s something off about the new doctor in Patience, Colorado: his weird fixed grin, his slightly disembodied speech patterns, and a laugh that sounds like a bark. If they only knew that Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle (Alan Tudyk<\/a>) is, under his suit of skin, a crash-landed ET on a mission to destroy humanity \u2014 what a pity he can’t find his doomsday tools.<\/p>\n

Tudyk, a versatile comic and voice actor, is a sci-fi veteran with projects as varied as Firefly<\/a> <\/i>and\u00a0Rogue One<\/em>‘s K-2SO to his credit, and he makes the most of his role in Resident Alien<\/a>. He animates Harry with bizarre vocal inflections and a rubbery face of confusion, awkwardly learning the ways of humankind by watching endless repeats of Law & Order \u2014<\/em>\u00a0the Jerry Orbach variety, thankfully. With fewer social<\/a> cues than The Big Bang Theory<\/em>‘s Sheldon Cooper, Harry is awfully blunt in his new role as town doctor, enlisted against his will to investigate the murder of his predecessor, but he’s trying. Oh, is he ever trying.<\/p>\n

Though his initial instinct is to regard our species with contempt \u2014 “If the universe had a scale for intelligence, humans would land right below lizards” \u2014 the longer this alien walks in Harry’s shoes, the more he gets in touch with such human feelings as loneliness, self-doubt, jealousy, and hangovers. (“Alcohol must not affect humans the way it does us. If it did, they obviously would never drink it,” he says.) This is a comic book character come to entertaining life, and Resident Alien<\/i> (adapted by Family Guy<\/em><\/a>‘s Chris Sheridan from a Dark Horse comic) is a fun blend of sci-fi intrigue and knockabout humor.<\/p>\n

Only one resident \u2014 and with him, we \u2014 can see the menacing and bug-eyed monster within: the milquetoast mayor\u2019s young son, Max (Judah Prehn), whose \u201cboy who cried alien\u201d alarms make him the Road Runner to Harry\u2019s Wile E. Coyote, haplessly trying and failing to silence the kid. Their cat-and-mouse game<\/a>s are the best part of the show, which slows considerably when sentimental subplots intrude to help Harry better app<\/a>reciate the species he\u2019s meant to destroy.<\/p>\n

Even so, this X-File is extra special.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
