A ripper sci-fi comedy adventure guaranteed to galvanize the attention of the red-cordial crowd...delightful, pastel-coloured, busy piece of bubble-gum kids' cinema has fun playing up all the alien conspiracy theories.

Aliens of all shapes and sizes provide amusing banter in this likeable, happy and colourful 3D animation in which planets are saved and family ties nurtured.
Top CriticAn animated film that goes lamely where many have gone before.

[The aliens] find 7-11s hypnotically beautiful and learn to love Slurpees. There are several scenes involving Slurpees.

Escape from Planet Earth is a mildly entertaining examination of intergalactic sibling rivalry that will probably appeal to many younger kids, but not to the parents who have to sit through it with them.

The best thing I can say about Escape From Planet Earth is that I didn't end up hating it as much as I thought I was going to during the first half.

An amiable animated feature that should entertain the younger kids.

Just like its hero and his grounded starship, Escape From Planet Earth is, for much of the film, a decidedly earthbound adventure.

Colorful as the 3-D aliens-among-us comedy is to look at, though, Corddry is handed a role that's beige as can be, and so are his castmates.

A lightweight, warp-speed, brightly colored trifle that should delight small children and sporadically amuse their parents.
SSG Syndicate
Serviceable sci-fi - stopping momentarily at local theaters en route to its destiny on DVD as generic, escapist diversion for youngsters, teaching teamwork and preaching family loyalty and love.

A surprisingly well-produced effort that fills the recent vacuum of family films without totally sucking.

It never discovers new worlds, but "Escape From Planet Earth" is, in its genial way, escape enough.

The colorful animation can't compensate for a mediocre script that generally lacks depth, excitement and consistent laughs.

And just to make sure the feature radiates complete nonsense, every time a character falls in Escape from Planet Earth, there's a fart sound effect piped in. Surely your children would rather watch Argo instead, right?

Predictable alien adventure is violent and forgettable.

It almost works as an amiable, if derivative, time-waster for kids with a few jokes for the grown-ups, but too much is unsettlingly off-base.

Escape from Planet Earth's flaws would be more forgivable if the film offered better fun for younger viewers.
