With 96% on the Tomatometer and an adjusted score of 87.77, this tale of a family with superpowers who come out of hiding to battle an obsessive fan won the hearts and minds of film critics.

The box office bears this out with a domestic take of $257M, the fourth highest in 2004, right behind Shrek 2, Spider-Man 2, and The Passion of the Christ.
