Set in the liminal period between Christmas and New Year’s, the story follows the adventures of Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett), a teenage gig worker with a rise-and-grind mindset whose quest to make $5,000 is derailed by the appearance of a gelatinous little dude from outer space. Using the power of lo-fi musical numbers and deadpan comedy, Billy must save Donut and his family from the evil schemes of the Dolphin Groves Juice Company. The voice cast — which also includes Julio Torres, Sarah Sherman, Joe Pera, Cole Escola and Elsie Fisher — is a who’s who of weirdo comedy all-stars, adding to the charmingly strange vibe.

One of the freshest films of 2025, brilliantly juxtaposing the endless creative opportunities afforded to us by digital art with the anxiety of a generation that often feels like its own real-world opportunities are becoming fewer and further between. – Indie Wire
As wonderfully funny as “Boys Go to Jupiter” is, what makes this micro-production superior to macro-budget studio features is the heartfelt melancholy about the future the hero conveys, which it provides with class consciousness to boot. – Variety
Here is a movie notably unafraid to manifest the weirdest of the weird, no matter what the Mr. Moolahs of the world have to say. – New York Times
