    The movie is awfully close to a video game with its own specific rules, but its characters are appealing and funny, "Aliens" doesn't have a mechanical feel that drags down most video-game movies.

    Performances are unremarkable but acceptable pretty much across the board, and the vocal talents -- particularly Thomas Haden Church as the belligerent Tazer and Josh Peck as the lovable Sparks -- are well cast.

    Aliens in the Attic is conveyor-belt family product, an action/adventure/sci-fi/comedy made from the bland corporate DNA of Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel. It appears designed for families who never leave the mall.

    The real problem with this Aliens encounter is that it's patently a Nick at Night midweek movie that inadvertently got greenlighted for a big-screen opening.

    Very funny. My son and I laughed from beginning to end. Good clean fun for all.

    This movie was hilarious. We took our kid twice in one weekend and he laughed his head off both times. Ignore the lame CGI aliens. Who cares about bad CGI anyway? The jokes are hilarious and the cast has a lot of charisma.… Expand

    It is what it is. If you went to see it and you don't have young kids, it's your fault! I have two young children, they liked it, I laughed quite a bit. A much better movie than many and not as bad as the butcher job they made out of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince- which was a snooze fest.… Expand

    The protagonist tanks his grades because he does not want to be perceived as a brainiac. The movie itself does not fake being dumb. It is. The acting is abysmal, the script genuinely idiotic and the, let's say "laughs" can be numbered on the fingers of one hand. Worst of all - they totally wasted Andy Richter - a genuinly funny guy.… Expand
