I am Number 4.

A world has been destroyed and the last few survivors and their guardians are on Earth. Three so far have been killed and we start the movie with fourth one on the list.

Graphically this movie was pretty good. That's about it. I was seriously yawning throughout, I almost got up and left. I could not get into these characters at all. It was so predictable: main guy falls in love with Earth girl, they have to part, old wise dude dies, alien babe realizes powers comes to rescue at just the right time, nerdy kid falls in love with alien babe and gets continuously rebuffed, kid's dad helped the aliens, and school bully turns good.

You're not missing much. There are much better aliens hiding on Earth shows than this. Like all those episodes of Star Trek.

A couple of little points: throwing a license plate on a fire does nothing to hide the pressed lettering, also that fire wasn't anywhere near hot enough to melt out the center. I know, I've actually done this many years ago. Of course the evil aliens sniff the burned up plate and track them right down. Amazing how fast they found the good guys. Took them years to find Number One, then Number Two, and Number Three. They get to our heroes in the matter of days.

Why are the bad guys taking them in order? What if number 123,456,789 is right next to them?
"Soon, it will be your turn. As soon as we track down 4 through 123,456,788."

I am Number Snore is best viewed (if you don't have anywhere else to be on a Friday night) on a movie channel.
