Featured reviews
The only con I have to really say about this movie is,
The movie had a lot of highly creative elements, which I always appreciate in an animated film. Dreamsworks does a fine job with its characterization as always, even with Tip coming out with a character trait we all saw coming (every single movie has one.) The antagonists and lessons were great, how the characters treaded the planet's 'renovation' was fun to watch. The relationships and character growth was exceptionally well done.
I'd give it a 6.5, but no decimals. It was there, yet it also wasn't? I'd still watch it again. Just takes a little push for this movie.
- All the Rihanna songs. It felt like every song on the soundtrack was one of hers. If you're a huge fan and never get tired of her, take it as a treat. Otherwise it is excessive. It'd be fine with a couple songs, and maybe one more playing on their TV or radio, but as the only music at all?
- The morals were very impressive. But somehow, in some very strange way, they felt miss-able, even though they were right there, highlighted. It may have been partly due to the movie feeling slightly detached. I'm not sure how else to put it. And... all the excessive distracting Rihanna. In important scenes I felt myself paying more attention to the fact that it was another one of her songs playing, again. Shes definitely not a bad artist, and I don't dislike her. Even if it was one of my favorite bands instead, I'd probably feel the same, hoping they play something else.

This movie is criminally underrated. It's really great, and I think it deserves more attention.
One of the funniest Animation movies this year so far, The plot is vibrant and story is so fresh and funny, there are a lot of balanced comedy and of emotional scenes, the writers did a great job on the screenplay (worked before on Get Smart and Epic) with multi funny scenes and full of extrinsic and adventitious jokes. The events flowing smoothly in the movie and when you first think the troubles are over well it appears it still far from it.
As a big bang theory fan, Casting Jim Parsons was kinda weirdly Adventurous but seeing the role itself needed a hesitant yet confident kinda snobby chatter voice like Sheldon Cooper, then you hear a lot of recognizable voices like Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Steve Martin a really highly paid cast ;)
Overall, i loved watching it and it is indeed recommended for you and your kids if you have any or just you if you're just a lonely Boov like me and you just love watching movies. ;) enjoy it guys.

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!

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.
