Critics Consensus: Inoffensive and kid-friendly this mundane family comedy is light on imagination.

Fleeting charms are largely outweighed by an unexceptional script, a brace of shabby performances (from both kids and adults) and some dismal CG effects.
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.
Jenkins 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.
Basically a tweener cable movie on steroids, with a bigger budget and a larger cast of B-list character actors.
It appears designed for families who never leave the mall.
A forgettable bit of fluff that will zip out of your orbit as soon as the credits roll.
OK, it is a little derivative, but the young actors are all very convincing and Robert Hoffman does some terrific physical comedy after his body is commandeered by the alien leader.
The whole enterprise is frustratingly 'blah' - weak acting, flat storytelling, lifeless direction, murky cinematography.
Cute protagonists, sensible morals and refreshing lack of complexity make Aliens in the Attic a bit of guilty pleasure.
Remarkably unremarkable; a lively war of the worlds diversion with plenty of spunky special effects, gratuitous slapstick, and Ashley Tisdale parading around in a bikini for all the dads out there.
Aliens In The Attic might fall between a key audiences but will certainly provide a rip-roaring time for both tweens and younger kids, never mind the parents who are seemingly dragged along.
Disliking Aliens in the Attic because it is so blatantly aimed at kids is like disliking the desert for having no water in it . . .
On a family vacation the kids discover there are aliens who want to take over the world.
Super Reviewer
A simple, easy to watch film with some good comedy moments that will enthral children, but nothing for the adult viewer.
Art Pearson: This isn't Xbox, Lee. It's real! - Like Wii! "They came from upstairs." Just a piss poor attempt at a family sci-fi film. Aliens in the Attic is beyond childish, it is to the point where kids will be making fun of how stupid it is. The whole movie is a bunch of talentless child to teenage actors running around fighting small, poorly imagined aliens, while the parents(who are to stupid to notice the aliens) go about their normal lives. A family goes away for a summer vacation. While there, the kids discover that some midget aliens are arriving and looking for something buried under the house. The kids must stop them all by themselves because the aliens have technology that only works on adults. The film doesn't sound as bad as it is. In actuality, it is a pretty boring and lifeless movie when it comes to these types of stories. Then there's all the horrible, cliche one liners and obvious plot choices that just make the movie repetitive and uninspired. Bad effects and bad acting just add to the misery of sitting through this godawful attempt at family fun. If you are looking for a film to watch with the entire family, look elsewhere because this will be pure torture for anyone over the age of 8.
My daughter picks winners. I have to admit i laughed at parts of this one. Not a great movie but did have some cute moments. My daughter really liked it though.
