    My daughter picks winners. I have to admit i laughed at parts of this one. Not a great movie but did have some cute moments. My daughter really liked it though.

    Aliens in the Attic is a movie that entertains for maybe 30 minutes. After that time I think that it turns a little foolish, unreal and very childish. the movie tells the story of a very dysfunctional family that rent a house on the lake for their vacations, what they don't know ...( read more)is that the house is already habited by a group of aliens looking for a device to invade and conquer the Earth. The aliens can control the mind of adult people but not of teenagers and children, so it is the children of the family to protect their house, their family and the whole world. The story is very predictable, from the very beginning you can tell what is going to happen. The cast is good, the performances notthat much. I love the role of Doris Roberts as the Grandma, she is very funny, Kevin Nealon is also very food as the dad. I think that it is already time for Ashley Tisdale to leave behind the roles of the spoiled high school teenager and the kids were good enough specially the little girl Ashley Boettcher. In conclusion, Aliens in the Attic is an entertaining and enjoyable movie specially for kids, then if you don't have kids or you're not one avoid it or wait for it until its on dvd.

    Plenty of laugh out loud scenes in this family movie about space aliens starting off their quest to conquer the earth at one old beach rental house. Good fun for the kids and funny enough for the adults or big kids like me. Had fun with this. Recommended!

    Kids find themselves against aliens on their summer vacation. The movie is goofy and occasionally stupid. It's also surprisingly entertaining and I laughed more than I expected. The scenes where the kids get a hold of an alien remote that allow them to control the older sisters b...( read more)oyfriend are pretty funny.

    Well, it is true that this movie had a bunch of cast with a terrible act and a ridiculous story about aliens, but guess what?? I enjoy watching this movie...!! Goes with a very simple story about mini-aliens whose want to have an invasion on earth, but unfortunately their mission...( read more) is failed because of a bunch of kids... I wonder how Ashley Tisdale wants to play in a movie like this, maybe she wants a new career besides her High School Musical trilogy.... And one good thing about this movie, Robert Hoffman is so funny... He's ridiculous and pretty talented, of course after I saw him before in 'Step Up 2 The Streets'... Anyway, this movie was a decent but at least it was entertained me...

    The aliens are cute, but the story is nothing special. A good comic watch though.

There's nothing remotely original or inventive about this Sci-fi comedy in which Aliens bent on destroying the human race invade the Maine vacation home of an upper class suburban family, but the 8 ye... full review

    I thought it looked really bad but when I saw it in the movies with my mate I was wetting my self laughing, I rekon this is the best film Ashley Tisdale has done even though the High School Musicals were a big sucsess they are not as popular as the were now. I thought it was a VERY VERY VERY good film (:

    This makes me dreaming. I like it .Dreams generally help us to survive and to appreciate the real one.

    This looks like it's totally different from anything else Tisdale has done.

    It's a family movie, at first I thought that it would have bad graphics but they were amazing. Mom's, Dad's, Big Brothers and little ones, Big Sisters and little ones, the cat, and the dog. Ha. But, watch it its cool.
