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

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.

Top CriticAn animated film that goes lamely where many have gone before.

Content to pitch most of its plot twists and gags squarely at kids.

Mediocre. But for The Weinsteins in animation? That's an improvement.

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.

It's a bowl of warm water into which no one has bothered to place a bouillon cube. The kids in the theater with me never mustered a single laugh or gasp of excitement. It's plenty o' nuttin'.

This might please young kids but torment discerning parents.

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?

Unremittingly bland conflict and stock characterisations mar what could have been [a] much more cleverly executed concept ...
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.

An amiable animated feature that should entertain the younger kids.

The late Douglas Adams summed up Earth as "mostly harmless," a description that also applies to this eminently tolerable animated time-filler.

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

It's unchallenging fun for a younger crowd, but adults might feel like they're staring down a colorful 24-piece board puzzle, trying to figure out how such a simple activity could be drawn out over 90 minutes.

A children's movie about space-traveling blue beings that has lots of high-flying escapades but fairly low aspirations.
