Aliens in the Attic (2009)

This is a total classic like "The Princess Bride", "Clueless", or "Caddyshack". This is the only movie my boys and I will watch over and over and still laugh every time. We know all the words to this movie and it is so relevant to the way families live now. One of my favorite parts in the movie is when one of the twins look up from his video game and notices that they have arrived at the cabin. I love it! So hilarious, it is to bad there aren't more family oriented movies like this for us.

Ignore all the bad reviews on here this is a really great movie for kids and teenagers to watch. The CGI in this movie was great. Voice actors for the alien voices were pretty spot on. The acting for this movie was great. I am not going to spoil anything but I am going to say if you want to have a good Sci-Fi movie which both kids and adults can watch i would recomand this film.

My kids and I really enjoyed this movie. We've probably watched it 6 or 7 times. It still makes us laugh. I decided to rate it since it had such bad ratings. When you have children you really look at kid movies differently. Children like to watch movies again and again. So you have to hope it's something you don't mind watching. Some of the movies are so boring or they have parents dying or are just scary. This movie was just fun. I can't believe people are expecting a logical plot from this type of movie.The child actors in this movie all do a great job. The aliens are goofy and silly. The teenage sister and her boyfriend are annoying. But that's okay. The writing is okay. The parents are as dumb as parents usually are in this type of movie. Nana is hilarious.

Tom is a put-upon teenager. Always in Dad's bad books, at odds with sister Bethany and her boyfriend Ricky (who is nice as pie to Mom and Dad, but horrible to Tom), he hates having to go with them on holiday to a lakeside house with his uncle and domineering cousin (plus hi young sister and cousin twins). The awfulness continues as the holiday starts and then gets worse as the holiday house turns out to be the destination of a small alien invasion advance party. And small is the key word - these guys are barely shin high, but they are incredibly aggressive. Tom knows nobody will believe him, but it turns out all the kids (except Bethany) have to join together to combat the aggressors, especially when it turns out that the aliens can fire a dart which makes people from Ricky's age upwards (which excludes the kids) controllable via a video game controller.This is essentially a kids' film, although I watched it with my wife - she is nearly 62 and I am her 59 year old toyboy - and we laughed out loud frequently. There are no big surprises, but the script is constantly amusing, and there is some wonderful slapstick and physical humour, especially from Robert Hoffman as boyfriend Ricky - he is very funny in an impressive performance.And the CGI aliens are very well designed, animated, and integrated into the live action, as well as having some solid voice talent on board.
