En route!

Took my 8-year-old girls. It was cute. They enjoyed it well enough.

But on the car ride home, when I asked about their favorite part, the best they could come up with was the cow joke (I won't repeat it).

After all the great animated kid's movies of the last 10 years (Nemo, Shrek, Cars, Frozen, etc), this one is completely forgettable. In a month or two, my girls won't even remember it. Can't imagine they'll ever ask to get a DVD or watch it at home.

I'm not sorry I took them, nor was it a waste of money. But we are so spoiled by such great animated movies that a mediocre one like this becomes disappointing.

Home is a good animation movie, nothing more and nothing less. It is not as horrible as some are making it out to be. It does start off slow but then it picks up and you start liking it. In the end it depends a lot on how much you like the 2 main characters and the music. I did like the characters enough to care about them. The music was just OK except one song which was great.

Home is not what I would call a great movie though. You can't compare it to the likes of Beauty & the Beast, Lion King, Tangled, etc.

My advice to anyone who is planning to watch Home is to be patient at the start and follow the interactions of the main characters closely. This is a movie about relationships. If you liked Frozen then chances are you will like Home.

Jim Parsons and Rihanna's characters give this animated kids movie a relationship that is the center conflict in a somewhat simple alien invasion story. Steve Martin provides excellent humor as silly Captain Smek. The first time I saw it, I was blown away by how the animators and voice actors combined skills to make this a favorite of mine. It is easy to watch, and emotional at appropriate times.

The movie is fine to watch with good animation. Not the best movie from DreamWorks but a good time

This is not the kind of movie that will stay with you forever. I have seen better animated movies in the past. BUT it's a movie that you will definitely have a good time watching, laughing and laughing again. I loved the way this little alien was depicted, using Jim Parsons' ticks and facial expressions! The concept of the aliens taking different colors based on their mood was just to die for!

The story was OK and the time it lasted was sufficient (I always root for longer movies instead of shorter). Overall, it was a cute cute movie in the end! We laughed a lot, and although we are genre-fanatics (being in our 30s watching these movies without kids), I think that the average movie fan will also like it.

It was time well-spent on a movie and I sincerely recommend it!
