Review: NYC hipsters bake bread, eat quinoa, fight aliens

But before the aliens arrive, in the form of cute little furry “pouffes” that resemble comfy footstools, we get to know Su and Jack. Fittingly when we meet them, she’s on her laptop and he’s on his phone. Technology clearly rules their lives. Typical domestic dialogue: “Alexa, play!” “Alexa, stop!”

Su is miffed, because Jack messed with her tabs on her laptop, and now she can’t find her stuff, only Jack’s articles on baking bread. She asks for an apology. He obliges. “What are you apologizing FOR?” she asks, as if to a child. “That thing you want me to apologize for,” he says. You can tell they go down this road all day long.

But the couple is working on bettering themselves, and one evening at a party, they meet a friend who owns a remote cabin upstate. They take him up on his offer of a week away from it all. They decide to cut off all technology, and won’t communicate with anyone. They settle in for a week of hiking and canoeing and making lists like “How to Be a Better ‘We.’”

And then, as if cutting off iPhones and iPads for a week weren’t scary enough, there’s that alien invasion thing.

Not that they catch on anytime soon. They’re pretty oblivious. They notice a furry “pouffe” nesting in the living room, but assume it’s inanimate, When alien forces descend from the night sky, they assume it’s a meteor shower. They don’t even notice that guy falling dead outside their window.
