The ensuing war of the worlds is waged with weapons as fearsome as a bubble blower, a skateboard, and a sort of anti-gravity grenade that, frankly, looks like a lot of fun.

Basically a tweener cable movie on steroids, with a bigger budget and a larger cast of B-list character actors.

You could take the kids to see it this summer holiday and avoid an hour or so of rain - or rent the DVD later on. Inoffensive.

It appears designed for families who never leave the mall.

Joe Leydon Variety (Top Critic)

Aliens in the Attic is so thinly written by Mark Burton and Adam F. Goldberg that the characters are defined entirely by the actors playing them (or, in the case of the f/x-spawned aliens, voicing them).

Stupid movie, right? But kid-friendly.

A forgettable bit of fluff that will zip out of your orbit as soon as the credits roll.

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

Writers Mark Burton and Adam F. Goldberg pretty much let their imaginations go wild.

The extraterrestrials get title billing but Hoffman steals the show.

The whole enterprise is frustratingly 'blah' - weak acting, flat storytelling, lifeless direction, murky cinematography.

Cute protagonists, sensible morals and refreshing lack of complexity make Aliens in the Attic a bit of guilty pleasure.

Remarkably unremarkable; a lively war of the worlds diversion with plenty of spunky special effects, gratuitous slapstick, and Ashley Tisdale parading around in a bikini for all the dads out there.

Aliens In The Attic might fall between a key audiences but will certainly provide a rip-roaring time for both tweens and younger kids, never mind the parents who are seemingly dragged along.

Disliking Aliens in the Attic because it is so blatantly aimed at kids is like disliking the desert for having no water in it . . .

Amiable, kid-oriented slapstick...

What it lacks in originality and creativity it makes up for with action and a talented cast that breathes life into its thinly drawn characters.

You get the feeling that the Aliens in the Attic video game probably has more to offer.

Hilarious? No. But will you hate your kids for begging to see it? Nooooo.

Despite a lacklustre beginning, this family film manages to keep its audience entertained right through to the end.

Getting past the passages of forced teen coolness, this likable sci-fi romp brings some PG-tastic fun.

Undemanding and occasionally lol, Aliens in the Attic will have the youngsters in stitches at some of the fight scenes... entertaining and sometimes goofy family comedy
