    Don't let the bad ruin the good.

    What I learned from the reviews is that I should never skip a movie just because people hate it or didn't understand the movie or didn't even watch it but they left a negative review and now the movie should be thrown away in junk. I really like this movie and I actually enjoyed watching it , even if you think this movie isn't suitable for the kids, it still teaches us that no matter what life throws at us and how many problems we have, we must stick together and don't let anything ruin our little family, after all, we're a family and we're the happiest around our family members, even when we have problems and even when we're not getting along pretty well - we should NOT GIVE UP on our FAMILY ! If you ask me , that's a pretty valuable lesson which should be learned even before people decide to have their own ...

    Sent the kid to sleep

    Quite possibly the worst film I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through. Even the vocal talents of Jason Isaacs and Celia Imrie couldn't save it.

    Appalling script, cast sound as though they'd be more excited to read the phone book, rehashed storyline, endless fart jokes.

    One kid liked the bats, the other fell asleep after 30mins.

    If you want a decent monster movie - stick with the likes of Hotel Transylvania and avoid this like the plague.

    Suggest Sky stick with their monstrous prices and leave the monster movies to the experts.

    Where to start?

    This film is awful. The lip/voice sync is so frustrating it makes it unwatchable. The story line is non existent. The characters are so one dimensional they aren't likeable. The same ones are used over and over again. They weren't funny the first time.

    Not so good movie as I expected

    I didn't ear nothing about this movie until I saw it in the cinemas and for the rating I saw here I really expected a much better movie. Can't deny the excellent quality of the animation, I really enjoyed to see such a good work, but the story wasn't really so good. The movie is funny sometimes, it made me smile a few times and I think my kids liked it, but I've seen much better animated movies with not so good animation but with a much better story. It's good to see other productions not only from Hollywood but please, don't try to make us think that just a well done animation can make a good movie. Maybe next time.

    Decent family movie

    Wonderful family movie, was a bit scary for my 5 year old so I wouldn't recommend for little ones. The only "gripe" I would have is it starts in the New York USA, but all the characters, family and supporting have a British accent, due to the British voice actors. So a little incontnuity there. But over all a cute movie
