Very Cool!!!
To me, this movie is perfection.
i must have seen a different film!!
best movie i've ever seen.
Loser Thomas Pearson is sent to a house in Albany with his family for the summer. During a storm, he and his cousin, jake meet 4 aliens who apparently do not come in peace and attack them. In order to get rid of them, they trust one and team up with Hannah, Bethany, and every other kid in tom's family to kill or at least get rid of the monsters and return home safely. Aliens in the Attic will be a huge hit with small children below the age of 10 but for older kids and definitely their parents? It will feel like a boring made for tv film with alot of genre cliches and bad cgi.
No it is not E.T. but this film derives from the source. We all have a complex image of what other life out there may look like and this film brings in a relative cuteness to the aliens. It is a very cute film with humor and kids style action. Good dialogue, solid plot and moral compass of needing to come together as a family more.A father (Nealon) takes his wife and three kids to a lake house and meets up with his brother (Richter) and mother (Roberts). Both brothers have different parenting styles which brings the humor into play. The aliens crash land and the fun begins antics from the kids and fun at the daughter's boyfriend's expense. A good screenplay, solid music score that went right along with the films scenes. A cameo from Tim meadows which was fun. I had a fun time watching the film and think they should make more like this. I give it a solid 6
This a very funny film, at least in my opinion. It reminds me of Disney's "Spaced Invaders" in some respects. This movie starts with a family going on a vacation. There is the weenie nerd that is acting up, deliberately getting poor grades. The love struck teen sister and a younger sister who is still at the grade school level. The parents are of course parents. They get to the vacation house and the older sister's boyfriend shows up too. Then the grandmother and her second son and his kids appear. Shortly after this the aliens show up. They are about 2 feet tall and are on a mission to conquer earth, except for the new engineer who turns out to be friendly to the earthlings. It turns out that kids are immune from the aliens mind control device and so they fight back. The action is funny and entertaining with the boyfriend going from alien control to control by the kids. They make him do so many weird things including throwing big sis in to the lake. By the end, with the little aliens help, the baddies are beaten and the invasion is thwarted. Don't stop watching after what appears to be the end, there is some funny stuff coming.
I've recently seen a series of poor productions for kids, so I know for a fact this one is better than many others. The characters are well written and the actors do their job well, both the young ones and the older ones. The story has huge plot holes, just one example is the language the aliens speak, they seem to have trouble with English but on the other hand they speak it among themselves. There're more such goofs but I can't specify without adding spoilers, so I'll just say, that despite this fact, since the characters themselves are real and convincing, the whole thing does work, it's quick enough for the viewers not to notice these inconsistencies and it is funny and exciting. All together - not a bad viewing
