homeReviews for this film from our members:

  • José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: Propuesta animada que resulta simpática pero que no trascenderá por nada en especial. Buen trabajo técnico y diversión para los peques, que es lo que cuenta. Para los papás poca cosa, más allá de la abusiva explotación comercial de la figura de Rihanna.
  • Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
    • Excerpt: it’s the most adorable alien invasion you’ll likely see
  • Robert Cashill @ http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/show/the-john-hines-show/
    • Excerpt: Review from the 3/26 broadcast
  • Samuel Castro @ Ochoymedio.info [Spanish]
    • Excerpt: Una pobre historia es escondida detrás de una animación que logra ser muy imaginativa en ocasiones pero que es incapaz de nive
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: An alien buddying up with a human child in a movie called “Home” may sound too much like “E.T.,” but Oh isn’t trying to get back to his kind but away from them and if his reasons are simplistic at film’s start, by its end Oh will have delivered a nice message for kids on empathy and open mindedness.
  • Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
    • Excerpt: [I]t turns out that the Boov are neither loveable nor likeable. In fact, they’re kind of annoying.
  • Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
    • Excerpt: ‘Home’ is a cute and simple animated comedy about an alien outcast who befriends an Earthling after his species invades her planet.
  • Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
    • Excerpt: Familiarly fanciful, featuring the most benign aliens ever to invade Earth.
  • Vadym Grygoriev @ kinoblog.com [Ukrainian]
  • MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
    • Excerpt: Science fiction with training wheels, fine for sucking the kiddies into geekery but with little appeal for grownup fans of animated genre adventure.
  • Ben Kendrick @ Screen Rant
    • Excerpt: Home is a colorful and entertaining CGI adventure, but weighed down by an uneven and shallow story, falls short of animated greatness.
  • Kristin Dreyer Kramer @ NightsAndWeekends.com
  • Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
    • Excerpt: While consistency is an important element to filmmaking, certain studios have been able to maintain their rich culture and creativity with little effort. DreamWorks struggles every year to find new footing that gives it access to ready cash. Unfortunately, Home doesn’t feel like the kind of film that will give it enough of a boost on the bottom line.
  • Marty Mapes @ Movie Habit
    • Excerpt: A few nods and winks don’t add enough adult appeal to Home
  • Ross Miller @ Thoughts On Film
    • Excerpt: A sort of E.T. for the Despicable Me generation, Home fits the mould of all-round family entertainment perfectly well, with an amiable mix of slapstick humour, zippy action and bubblegum visuals.
  • [New – 10/1/15] | Jared Mobarak @ Jared Mobarak Reviews
  • Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
  • Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
    • Excerpt: A race of colorful, non-threatening, gender-neutral aliens takes over the world – in entirely non-violent fashion – in Dreamworks Animation’s Home, a familiar and generic but whirlwind fast-paced affair that will appeal most to those young enough to be easily entertained by the wide variety of colors and sounds that flow freely from the screen.
  • Diego Salgado @ Guía del Ocio [Spanish]
  • Amir Siregar @ Flick Magazine [Indonesian]
  • Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
    • Excerpt: Colorful, energetic but highly derivative…less an imaginative addition to the crowded kidflicks field than a tidily manufactured collection of familiar, rather tired elements.
  • Sarah Ward @ Trespass Magazine
  • George Zervopoulos @ www.moviesltd.gr [Greek]
