Oh it's an amazing role and the story don't make sense at all but that's the best part it doesn't have to be realistic, it's an animated movie so no one cares. Good job for Rihanna though. Expand

Children's animated films get old, they become predictable in no time at all, and it's for this reason that I tend to stay away from them, until I was convinced to see this new animated film called, Home. Let me cut to the chase, Home isChildren's animated films get old, they become predictable in no time at all, and it's for this reason that I tend to stay away from them, until I was convinced to see this new animated film called, Home. Let me cut to the chase, Home is terrific. Home's plot is extremely simple, simple for a kids film, that's how simple it is, but Home is full of thrilling moments that always deliver. The film is hilarious, and I feel that absolutely everyone who goes to see it will be chuckling at some point, it uses many different styles of humour, all of which will have you laughing. The all-star cast make the voice acting fantastic and believable. But the best part of Home, is the terrific emotional weight it carries, it not just about laughs, it's about friendship, it's about morals, it's how you see the world, and how the world sees you, it's powerful. It delivers several different kinds of emotions and feelings throughout the film, it will give you warm feelings, sad feelings, happy feelings, thrilling feelings, you'll be laughing, you'll be enjoying the thrill, there's never a dull moment. It's for this powerful display of emotion that Home is the best film I've seen this year, it managed to shock me and thrill me in ways that no other animated film has before. For every reason I've said above, it'll be getting a perfect score, for the emotion, for the laughs, and for the absolutely perfect, flawless climax, which is better than some big budget films I've seen. Home truly is special. Expand

If anything, Home is a nice idea with some genuinely heartfelt moments here and there. Some fun and colourful visuals too. However, the movie on the whole is just hastily put together and bizarrely paced.

The dialogue is insanely childish and can someone tell Rhianna she can't act. Jim Parson, further demonstrates how little range he has. Sheldon is great in BBT, but not in everything else. But to be honest his casting was a good fit for the character.

But the last act of the movie does salvage the wreck the first hour left behind with some great scenes that show what the movie should have been.

Overall:
Home isn't bad, but feels like it should have gone through some more post production. It is clear it had potential just a shame that most of the movie is trailer bait aimed at 5 year olds.

Side Note:
If a sequel ever gets made, be sure to remember that adults are a demographic too.

So when I heard they were releasing only 1 movie this year I was kinda sad. The characters are Oh and Tip. Jim Parsons is a good actor and all but he's pretty much playing Sheldon but an alien. Tip is ok too but the movie focuses on the Boov so much that she doesn't get to develop a personality that much. I think Rihanna should just stick to music making. But the biggest problem with this movie is the story. It feels like 5 plots were mixed in a blender and the filmmaker s just went with that.The jokes basically consist of toilet humor, my least favorite. The animation is ok I guess. Dreamworks, if u want to get back on you feet this film isn't helping u. 6/10 Expand

Generic HollyWood fluff basically what this movie is.

The story to Home is about a group of friendly aliens uses Earth for their new hideout. But when one is inadvertently discovered by a human, he has no choice but to join forces with the teen and the two embark on a globe-spanning adventure to right his wrongs - and maybe find out the two races have a lot more in common then they thought.

I remember back in February 2014 when I went to see Peabody and Sherman at the theater and when all the trailers to loads of different movies where over, then a short animated movie came on called Almost Home and it was only a couple of minutes long and it was a fine little short film...way better than the movie itself, I mean I'm being nasty but hey that's me being honest for you right here and it's not like I wanted this movie to be a generic kids movie.

Jim Parsons does the voice work in this movie for are main character. Now I like Jim Parsons as an actor and him being in the Golden Globe wining TV show The Big Bang Theory, but in this he just plays Jim Parsons with a little salt of Sheldon Cooper. He didn't do horrible or anything like that he just didn't hind his voice while playing the character because although out the movie I had an image of Sheldon Cooper in my head every time the character speaks.

Rihanna as we know isn't the greatest actress on the planet, actually she's horrible but now in this she voices a character that even when shes not in front of the camera she still can't pull of a good voice performance, because I didn't buy for one second that she played a young girl in this movie.

The jokes in the movie felt really flat to me and I know this movie is for kids but I'm not sure if the kids will enjoy it, maybe they will or maybe they not at least the movie pretty animation to keep them focus and not get bored.

Without spoiling anything in the movie I just got to say that the movie ended in such a cliche way that always happen in kids movies towards the end and that's character's dancing over their success and their victory. Every time that happens in kids movies I simply roll my eyes.

For the only good things in the movie are the animation as it looks pretty and colorful to look at and the voice acting for the most part isn't as bad as I said early. Overall Home is an generic, cliche, playing it safe and easily forgettable.

One endearing misfit (Jim Parsons) causes a calamity and teams up with a lost girl (Rihanna) to find her mom. This colorful animation starts with a fast-paced first hour: lots of eye candy and quick comedy. Once the inevitable emotion kicks in, the pace slows and the action is accompanied by tender songs. Still, there's enuff creativity in the characters and originality in the visuals to delight the eye and charm the imagination. Expand

Home
The creation of Boovs seems to be smaller in size, change of color and diverting appearance of the famous Shrek series; the whole thousands millions of Boovs replicate is however another repetitive mistake of the studio since Penguins of Madagascar trying to follow the success of Minions but it turns out to be just within expectation. The story is again the same formulaic of a main character being abandoned, experiencing some great lessons in the middle part, starting to brave itself and finishing happily by becoming the hero of everyone. Overwhelmed by its averageness in term of plot and character developments, the production team has indeed heavily focused in presenting nice, charming and enjoyable electronic pop-style musics throughout the entire film. Dreamworks might have lack in originality, but this simplistic benign alien invasions with rainbows of colors and cuteness is surprisingly a moving tale about friend and family that will certainly melt the hearts of all moviegoers of any age.

The movie had a rushed storyline where parts of the movie were not explained enough in full during the first half of the movie to understand how the concepts of the movie worked. Also, the fact that 80% of the film's soundtrack consisted of Rihanna songs both kills the belief that the sound crew had a taste for creativity during the film, and also makes me believe that the producers cut a deal with Rihanna to put several songs performed by her in the film to save money on production costs. (In other words, a "2-for-1" special.) And, to add more mention of "Rihanna advertising" to the film, the character she voices just happens to be from the same country as her; since no characters in the film have singing parts, this film, at a certain point, started to feel like an advertisement for a Rihanna album.

The movie started with short history of the Boov's adventures to find a home, which basically is the short film released a few years ago, but the film itself is different from what the marketing made it out to be.

From the trailers and the short film, I thought that Oh (Jim Parsons) was running from his fellow Boov - which he is - after making one too many mistakes and landed on Earth while he was running away from them, causing all the Boov to come to Earth because they were looking for him but that’s not the case. The movie went in a complete different route, either the studio changed the story-line at the last minute or I saw another movie because the trailers was for an alternate movie not the one I saw.

So the movie was confusing for a little while but it doesn’t change the fact that the Oh and Tip grow on you, the little Boov Oh, like his counterparts, is quirky, a bit silly, and sometimes funny. The Boovs may not be as funny but they are as endearing as the Minions. Home is solely destined for kids though, the jokes and gags are aimed to please them, and after a few minutes you know exactly where the story is going. The message ā€œaccepting people for who they areā€ may not be original but for a kids’ movie it’s never a bad idea to remind them that being different is OK.

Home is fun to watch and could be a nice afternoon trip to the movie theaters with your young kids, nieces and nephews. @wornoutspines

I will say the humor might be a little dry for our older generation but I can guarantee you'll still enjoy it as a whole! Moving on to the magnificent soundtrack executive produced by the beautiful Rihanna, the soundtrack is what makes this film so beautiful. Even the a couple of the songs explain that you can never give up on what you want and to never "let the shadows find you". Overall, give this movie a try.

Yet, despite that it is a funny and enjoyable family movie. One that can suitably entertain everyone watching regardless of their age. It just won't blow them away.

As usual with DreamWorks animated movies great animation, high-quality voice acting, and an energetic sense of humor are on display. Quite a few laughs can be had here, and despite the familiar themes it touches it manages to stay entertaining throughout. The simplicity and familiarity of it all means that it won't be as big of a hit with the grown ups like it will be with the kids, but I think everyone should find an enjoyable little film here.

It's not the biggest success in DreamWorks animated lineup, but it's also not their biggest flop. Even though it's retreading ground other animated movies have covered before the sense of humor and all around family-friendly charm are sure to make it worth a watch on a family movie night.

It's beautiful, the music is gorgeous, and the overall message is one I think parents, kids and teens will all enjoy. At the end of the movie, the first thing I wanted to do was go and find my mother to give her a hug. Kudos to DreamWorks for a lovely comeback movie.

Great family movie
I saw this movie today with the kiddies. I would say it is a really solid movie. It is the story of an unlikely friendship that forms when an outcast alien meets a sassy little girl on a mission to find her mom. I think the story is well thought out and there are many hidden life "gems" noted within. The theme of judging others sticks out as well as themes of "being yourself" and learning from your mistakes. It is a little predictable but I think all adults feel that way about children's movies. The acting was good and surprisingly Rihanna did very good (I had my doubts about that). The kids loved it and laughed a lot. They also enjoyed the music a lot and that is really what it is all about. I would recommend it for families.

I saw this when I was 10 years old, it is the best animated film ever made. The story is heart warming, very funny and Jennifer Lopez blew it out of the water with "Feel the light".

Unfortunately, that is lost amidst the gags, Rihanna songs cutting out any dramatic moments, and typical hip humor that Dreamworks is known for. Had the film focused more on the girl’s conflict being separated from her mother and the heartfelt message this could’ve been a great film. Instead it’s another passable but forgettable Dreamworks film. Children will enjoy it and parents might smile but nothing worth remembering. Expand

Its cute and adorable but the story feels incomplete with the majority of the film seeming to be random, unrelated, filler. Its not bad, but its far from good. I would say wait for Netflix as its just not worth the price of admission.

I like most all animated movies and this was no exception. I think that this is a good family film that could be enjoyed by the young and old. I would Go see this one if you like animated films......

This was cute. Story and characters are fine, except the alien leader who was unlikable. It's very refreshing to see a black main character.

Two unlikely friends in an unexpected adventure.

It was a good movie, but just like 'Turbo', it was turned down by the critics and so those who follow them. Besides Disney and Pixar, DreamWorks Animation ain't that bad at all. Technical side of this film comes under same league with the other two top production house, but the story and the character are not strong enough. Comedies were awesome, and so the dialogues, the innovation in narration falls short with the same old cliche in the alien theme. The soundtracks were good though, especially that one used for the promotion, 'feel the light'.

For a change, the lead girl character was different and voice rendered by Rihanna. I said it many times that my first ever 3D animation was 'Ants', despite 'Toy Story' was the first feature length. And this film has been the best work of the director to till date since his first flick 'Antz'. As usual like any animated movie, it was targeted for children, but I enjoyed watching it. There won't be a sequel at least for now, but I would love to have one. For a change you can try this to get a break from the fairytales and princess stories.

6.5/10

If you're looking for a fun animation with unique story. This is the one to watch. Was fun at momments, but i guess too childish. They tried to make a original story, but eventually - with so many flaws.

Home isn't bad but I expect better from the studio that gave us the likes of Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon. When the dialogue's sentence construction is the most interesting thing about the film, you gotta rethink your concept.
Verdict: For when you've already watched everything better.

"Home" may seem like a soulless "E.T" ripoff, but when you actually see the film, you will find 90 minutes of silly but heartwarming fun, go watch it! It will not dissapoint.

The standards for animated films have been set so high in recent years, films like; 'Toy Story 3' (2010), 'How to Train Your Dragon' (2010), 'Tangled' (2010), 'Wreck-It Ralph' (2012), 'Frozen' (2013), 'The Lego Movie' (2014), 'How to TrainThe standards for animated films have been set so high in recent years, films like; 'Toy Story 3' (2010), 'How to Train Your Dragon' (2010), 'Tangled' (2010), 'Wreck-It Ralph' (2012), 'Frozen' (2013), 'The Lego Movie' (2014), 'How to Train Your Dragon 2' (2014) and 'Big Hero 6' (2014) all come to mind, 'Home' is pitiful in comparison.

The film is made by DreamWorks Animation Studios, a studio I would not rank as high as Walt Disney Animation Studios or Pixar Animation Studios, despite "Shrek", "Madagascar" and "How to Train Your Dragon". This is a studio that for every great film they release, they'll always release something sub-par like 'The Croods' (2013), or 'Shark Tale' (2004) etc.

Jim Parsons, best known as Sheldon from the TV sitcom 'The Big Bang Theory' voices a little alien named Oh. I am not a huge fan of 'The Big Bang Theory', so obviously the casting of Jim Parsons wouldn't intrigue me to watch this film. Rihanna voices Tip and other members of the cast include Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez (not a huge fan of her music, or her films).

'Home' plays exactly like "E.T." and while I think children will definitely like it, adults will probably be irritated at the lack originality and the fact that it's just another movie they have to watch because their kids will find it amusing.

The comedy is also very off, if you've seen the trailer, you'll know that the highlight was Oh's arms shaking uncontrollably and yelling "My hands are in the air like I just do not care!". Even for children's films, this is a lame joke. The 'Big Hero 6' (2014) trailer had Baymax deflating and sticks tape over it, and the noise of him deflating was one the funniest things ever, but this is just lame.

Nice animation, but I could not sympathize with the characters enough to care and predictable jokes prevent this from being a groundbreaking animated film from DreamWorks. I don't think this will even score an Oscar nomination if 'The Lego Movie' (2014) failed to do so.

So you think, what Furious is better than the Home?!It's a children's movie.Maybe jokes aren't laugh, but it probably ones of unusual movies. 9/10-it all.

Through the whole movie when the main character spoke, I saw in my head Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons / Big Bang Theory) because they act in some sort of way the same. Jokes and gags are nice and so even as an adult you can survive the movie with your offspring. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can appreciate what they were trying to do with this film which was to create a silly sci-fi film for children. I don't believe it was aimed at adults. But if my children had the sense to write reviews then I would gladly hand the keyboard over but here's my take being the adult that I am

The plot was pretty straight-forward, Imminent doom check. Goofy aliens, check. Missing person of interest, check. Nothing you haven't seen before with obvious life message? Check and check.

I don't take issue with the plot so much as I do with the voice actors. There are some musicians that can transition from music to film and Rihanna, to me, has failed to sell me as a voice actress. Very monotone and off-beat not in a good sense. Steve Martin and Jim Parsons did fine though certainly not their best work. Again these two gents perform better on screen not just using their voices.

The music, if you like Rihanna well you won't be disappointed. If you dislike Rihanna well you may want to avoid this movie or go and see it with someone who has viewed it before you and can signal when to uncover your ears.

Not a horrible film but definitely one for the kids and as an adult I felt I had to endure if I was to enjoy an hour of peace.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visuals were somewhat decent, but there was to much pop music that intrudes on the story, and to much unresolved between the humans and aliens to make the ending entirely believable, like they skipped a few necessary installments, that you are left underwhelmed.

The idea behind this was great from DreamWorks Animation. The storytelling though and our respective characters didn't make the movie worth giving a good score in. It's still decent though.

And against films like Shrek 4 and Over the Hedge, that is saying something. But there are ways in which it doesn't get near as bad as Shark Tale. The animation is very vibrant, the heart really works, and you'll be able to find yourself rooting for the main characters Oh and Tip on their journey. But where the movie fails is definitely in the writing. The movie tends to get highly predictable and generic, characters like Smek and Kyle are obnoxious, and the soundtrack is nothing but Rihanna songs. Don't get me wrong, though, Rihanna is a good singer, but does every song in this film have to be crafted by her? Aside from Feel the Light? The good elements of the movie are there, but they get overshadowed by the terrible writing. Expand

Home is one of the DreamWorks movies that isn't near that good like Shrek or How To Train Your Dragon, but still I enjoyed the movie. Rihanna has done songs that made the movie top any musical Disney film, it's also humorous and has a good moral.

The film draws comparisons to our own individualistic techno-culture and that of the BOOV's, which is completely devoid of friends and family. Save for "Oh" one of the film's two protagonists, who feels alone among his alien peers. The other lead "Tip" helps to teach Oh about the love of family. It's of no surprise that this film wasn't well received initially, as these concepts are not as commonplace in popular culture as they once were. Home is a much needed and well deserved film for our generation and the next. Expand

One of Dreamworks best. The story in this is very well written, and acted. The plot was simple, but made you love the characters. Also, it was emotional, and that is good. Don't get me wrong though, it is also very funny. It was excellent.
