Aliens in the Attic is simply your standard issue, paint-by-numbers family film likely to be most successful with smaller children.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 1, 2020

As a piece of cross-generational cinema, Aliens falls rather flat but as a dedicated children's film released into prime school holiday territory, it does exactly what it says on the tin.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 29, 2019

OK, it is a little derivative, but the young actors are all very convincing and Robert Hoffman does some terrific physical comedy after his body is commandeered by the alien leader.

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

| Aug 9, 2010

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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 4, 2010

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.

| Original Score: C | Jun 2, 2010

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2010

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.

| Original Score: B | Sep 8, 2009

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 3, 2009

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

| Sep 2, 2009

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2009

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

| Aug 28, 2009

Cue some uninspired but reasonably entertaining mayhem. The aliens are mediocre CGI bipeds who wouldn't last 10 seconds against a horde of Gremlins.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2009

Uninventive family comedy.

| Aug 17, 2009

The aliens look like cast-offs from a bad Spielberg film and the whole family are boring examples of Hollywood's ordinary Americans.
