User Reviews

Unexpectedly hilarious .

Took my Garanddsons to see this movie. They told me at the cinema it had been out 3 weeks, but I'd never heard of it and probably wouldn't have bothered to go if I'd read some of the reviews . As there were only 6 of us at the showing I was doubtful . But I was pleasantly surprised and laughed til I cried , something I haven't done since Hitel Transylvania 2. There were some sad moments and probably s bit scary for little ones , but only at the point where the social worker (an alien in disguise) turned into a monster. But she was soon overcome . Brilliant on the whole !
