The combination of Home’s layered message, fun score, and clever comedy make it a colorful choice for moviegoers of any age. Read full review

Home is like when someone gets you a birthday present by just clicking on an item from your Amazon wish list. It's well-made, suitable, and appreciated, but there wasn't really any thought put into it. Read full review

A charming concoction with positive messages for younger children about conquering fears, understanding outsiders and knowing yourself. Read full review

Unimaginative and downright predictable by grownup standards, but bursting with elements sure to appeal to younger auds. Read full review

A drab dream with squirmy-cuddly aliens, floating space bubbles and too many Rihanna musical interludes. Read full review

The problem is, the story lacks originality and zest. Read full review

If DreamWorks Animation is hoping to get back on track with this movie, a lavish sci-fi comedy based on a recent children's book, they're pretty much doomed. Read full review

I absolutely love this movie!!! I think it's the best Dream Works movie I've ever seen and the soundtrack is fantastic. Everybody must see it and listens to Rihanna's voice. "Home" deserves at least ten Oscars.

A race of squishy semi-adorable aliens overcomes Earth and relocates the humans. One endearing misfit (Jim Parsons) causes a calamity and teams up with a lost girl (Rihanna) to find her mom. This colorful animation starts with a fast-paced first hour: lots of eye candy and quick comedy. OnceA race of squishy semi-adorable aliens overcomes Earth and relocates the humans. One endearing misfit (Jim Parsons) causes a calamity and teams up with a lost girl (Rihanna) to find her mom. This colorful animation starts with a fast-paced first hour: lots of eye candy and quick comedy. Once the inevitable emotion kicks in, the pace slows and the action is accompanied by tender songs. Still, there's enuff creativity in the characters and originality in the visuals to delight the eye and charm the imagination.… Expand

The movie started with short history of the Boov's adventures to find a home, which basically is the short film released a few years ago, but the film itself is different from what the marketing made it out to be.

From the trailers and the short film, I thought that Oh (Jim Parsons) was running from his fellow Boov - which he is - after making one too many mistakes and landed on Earth while he was running away from them, causing all the Boov to come to Earth because they were looking for him but that’s not the case. The movie went in a complete different route, either the studio changed the story-line at the last minute or I saw another movie because the trailers was for an alternate movie not the one I saw.

So the movie was confusing for a little while but it doesn’t change the fact that the Oh and Tip grow on you, the little Boov Oh, like his counterparts, is quirky, a bit silly, and sometimes funny. The Boovs may not be as funny but they are as endearing as the Minions. Home is solely destined for kids though, the jokes and gags are aimed to please them, and after a few minutes you know exactly where the story is going. The message “accepting people for who they are” may not be original but for a kids’ movie it’s never a bad idea to remind them that being different is OK.

Home is fun to watch and could be a nice afternoon trip to the movie theaters with your young kids, nieces and nephews. @wornoutspines… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visuals were somewhat decent, but there was to much pop music that intrudes on the story, and to much unresolved between the humans and aliens to make the ending entirely believable, like they skipped a few necessary installments, that you are left underwhelmed.… Expand

This is the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. To all the people who said this movie was sooo good, have you read the book "The True Meaning of Smekday"? It is the book the movie was based on, and it was great! But this movie was nothing like it, instead just being stupid crap! I mean,This is the absolute worst movie I have ever seen.

But this movie was nothing like it, instead just being stupid crap! I mean, Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory" as the lead? Are you freaking kidding me? This whole movie is complete crap,nothing like the book, and altogether the worst thing to exist besides Happy tree friends. Actually, I would rather watch Happy Tree Friends than this garbage.… Expand
