Leave your thoughts about Aliens in the Attic.
| BeliefnetNell MinowWhat works best in the film are the special effects, clearly the primary focus as the talented cast gets less attention than the CGI and wire work. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettWhat it lacks in originality and creativity it makes up for with action and a talented cast that breathes life into its thinly drawn characters. |
| Entertainment WeeklyAdam MarkovitzA pointless but ultimately harmless family adventure that doesn't mentally assault the 12-and-over set. (Extra points for being 100 percent fart-joke-free). |
| CinematicalEric D. SniderSmall pleasures aside, the movie doesn't offer anything particularly memorable or inventive. |
| Los Angeles TimesGlenn WhippPerfectly calibrated for the pre-adolescent set, highlighting broad physical comedy and themes of kid empowerment and featuring one of the stars from "High School Musical." |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineHigh energy levels and some genuinely hilarious set pieces make this kids' alien-invasion romp a lot more fun than expected. It's not, erm, rocket science, but it's a thoroughly entertaining ride from start to finish. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookAs dull as its title is interesting, 'Aliens in the Attic' is far from out-of-this-world. |
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonA surprisingly likable execution of a very thin premise |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerWatchable family sci-fi comedy with at least one hilarious and rather brilliant set-piece, but there's never really any sense of danger or jeopardy so it's not quite as exciting as it should have been. |
| fantastiqueZINEJames O'EhleyDisliking Aliens in the Attic because it is so blatantly aimed at kids is like disliking the desert for having no water in it . . . |
