Review of "Aliens in the Attic" on DVD

Whew! What a ride!

That's what we kept saying after watching that rather odd, but very funny Aliens in the Attic, which was just released on Nov. 3rd! We had the wonderful opportunity to do a sneak peek of the film, and we have watched it no less than 6 times since we received it! (No kidding!)

Here's what we LOVED about the film:

• The creatures, while a bit evil, weren't too scary. (In fact, one was lovable and even became a friend of the kids.)
• The action scenes weren't too violent. There were a few "slapstick"moments that actually had me in tears, it was so funny. But nothing that would leave a kid scared.
• There was some romantic banter between leading lady Ashley Tisdale and her over-aged boyfriend that was obvious to adults that it was a bit ill-intentioned. The brothers step in and keep it clean, however, as this film continually enforced family values between the kids and encouraged team work.

Was there anything we would have done differently? Not really. Outside of one or two personal injuries (which were really deserved, believe me) and a swimsuit shot, this was a pretty clean film and deserving of a PG rating. Kids as young as 4 can follow along and laugh, and adults (while they may find it reminiscent of Gremlins meets Batteries Not Included), will have some fun, too.

And the fact that the kids and parents end up closer in the end? Priceless.
