Amusing insight into the Roswell UFO-fan event

"Six Days in Roswell" is an interesting mix of documentary and comedy. Rich Kronfeld is part Sacha Baron Cohen, part Louis Theroux, making interviewees comfortable in-front of the camera and allowing truth to be funnier than fiction. There are elements of the film that are fictionalised but a lot of what you see about Kronfeld is true - he is interested in old technology and really does have a Captain Pike replica chair from classic "Star Trek".The documentary provides an insight into the type of visitors that the Roswell conventions attract and this is a rich source of humour for the film. This is a film that's also tinged with an element of sadness - I was left with a mixture of emotions when the end credits rolled.7 out of 10. Good but not great.

It was funny

The maker went to Roswell new Mexico and explored all the local hype and attractions regarding the mecca of the alleged UFO crash of 1947 and i gotta say it was pretty good. The people he meets are sometimes completely off their rockers but are entertaining and he does approach the subject with impartiality and skepticism. Some of the experts they have on do make some good points and it looks like a great place to go to attend the annual UFO convention. Someday i hope i can go but not because i believe or don't believe in aliens but because i am sure i would have a blast. Everyone should check out this documentary cause it was fun to watch.

Not quite a documentary

Don't get me wrong, this movie is hilarious. I was laughing out loud as I watched it alone, with my headphones on. I was lucky enough to have a friend who owned it and was nice enough to lend it to me on DVD. I was pretty amazed that this was all true, so I watched a making-of on the DVD, and learned that the main character is not a real guy. He does ride around in a captain pike chair, but he is not quite as nerdy as the act that he puts on. He does not believe in aliens, and all the stuff with the trailer was totally made up. He's doing an act like Ali-G or Jiminy Glick, a character interviewing people. I did like the movie, but was disappointed that I didn't know it was part fiction.
