Reviews for Aliens in the Attic
Silly teens-versus-aliens adventure is sure to delight kids.
08/03/09
A forgettable bit of fluff that will zip out of your orbit as soon as the credits roll.
08/03/09
Top CriticDespite a lacklustre beginning, this family film manages to keep its audience entertained right through to the end.
09/02/09
Amiable, kid-oriented slapstick...
10/16/09
What it lacks in originality and creativity it makes up for with action and a talented cast that breathes life into its thinly drawn characters.
09/08/09
Lightweight entertainment for kids with a thankfully low level of obnoxiousness.
07/31/09
You could take the kids to see it this summer holiday and avoid an hour or so of rain - or rent the DVD later on. Inoffensive.
08/14/09
It appears designed for families who never leave the mall.
08/03/09
Top CriticJenkins is a bit too McDreamy to play the geeky underdog, and adult viewers will be nostalgic for the chubby, bucktoothed and truly dorky cast of The Goonies.
08/05/09
I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone over the age of fifteen who isn't trying to relive their youth from the 1980s.
07/31/09
Agonizingly lame.
08/07/09
High energy levels and some genuinely hilarious set pieces make this kids' alien-invasion romp a lot more fun than expected. It's not, erm, rocket science, but it's a thoroughly entertaining ride from start to finish.
08/14/09
Even though the basics are in place, they've been squandered by director John Schultz - a man who doesn't seem to have the first idea about how to shoot action, or comedy, or anything else.
08/14/09
As dull as its title is interesting, 'Aliens in the Attic' is far from out-of-this-world.
08/01/09
Okay entertainment for kids but for adults it is all just too familiar. You feel you have seen it all before in better movies.
08/03/09
Aliens In The Attic is boring. Not just humdrum but deathly dull, as in stick-it-in-a-rocket-and-blast-it-into-space uninteresting.
08/14/09
This is one of those once-seen-immediately-forgotten enterprises which avoids anything memorable or imaginative in favour of fast, functional, charisma-free busy-ness.
08/14/09
Uninventive family comedy.
08/17/09
Iyt's a cheesy kids-to-the-rescue adventure that should soar in popularity when it's released on DVD.
