When Tip and Oh realize how wrong they've been about so many things, they begin moving toward real maturity and growth. That's something viewers of all ages can appreciate.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 17, 2015

Heartwarming and harmless? Sure, why not. But it's also numbing in its simplicity and often rather annoying.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 29, 2015

The combination of Home's layered message, fun score, and clever comedy make it a colorful choice for moviegoers of any age.

| Original Score: A- | Mar 27, 2015

Anyone over 10 will see the plot twists a mile away. Kids will probably enjoy the goofy Boovs, the rainbows of colors and the music. Call me a traditionalist, but I still say the world was a better place before those darn Boovs invaded.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.0 | Mar 27, 2015

A surprisingly moving tale of friendship and family, dressed up as an adorably frivolous sci-fi comedy.

| Mar 27, 2015

Maybe it's because kids sometimes feel like aliens in a grown-up world, but from E.T. and Elliott to Lilo and Stitch, pairing a child with a creature from outer space can prove to be a winning combination.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 27, 2015

A big, fat happy meal of a movie ...

| Mar 27, 2015

Cute and colorful movie with an important safety tip concerning one of the most destructive forces in the universe, hitting the dreaded "send to all."

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 26, 2015

Aside from Parsons' initially amusingly mangled Yoda-like English, which gets a tad repetitive, Home doesn't stand out as fresh or particularly funny.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 26, 2015

Tension is one of "Home's" biggest issues. There just isn't nearly enough of it. Story is another. Even a kids' movie needs more complexity and more invention.

| Mar 26, 2015

A charming concoction with positive messages for younger children about conquering fears, understanding outsiders and knowing yourself.

| Mar 26, 2015

Director Tim Johnson ("Over the Hedge") and his animators can't maintain this level of freshness throughout, but that's where Parsons and his goofy charm take over.

| Mar 26, 2015

It works moderately well thanks largely to the voice talents of Jim Parsons and, to a lesser extent, Steve Martin. Two droll dudes who put a fair share of funny into this animated picture.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 26, 2015

Tim Johnson ( Antz) has capitalized on DreamWorks' proprietary animation platform, Apollo to create a rich, intricate setting...But the technology doesn't save the film from falling flat on other levels.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 26, 2015

Frenetic direction and supercharged cuteness pitch in to aid in the distraction, and it's almost enough to produce a kind of numbness.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Mar 26, 2015

Aggressive and cynical approach to children's entertainment, pummeling viewers with mechanical-looking action sequences (which suggest video game demos), unfunny one-liners, and overly loud pop songs and sound effects.

| Mar 26, 2015

Although it may not be where the heart is, Home is a functional escape and shelter.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 26, 2015

Key characters are admirably diverse, but the fast-paced tale is thoroughly predictable.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 26, 2015

The film moves quickly and keeps the jokes coming, which only means that "Home" would rather keep young viewers occupied than give them something to think about.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 26, 2015

When we scratch beneath the sugary surface, there's something tart inside that's difficult to digest.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 26, 2015
