Home (2015) 8/10

Starring : Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Matt Jones
Director : Tim Johnson
Running Time : 94 mins

The Boov have fled their home planet to escape from the evil Gorg and taken over the planet Earth, sending the humans to live in exile in Australia, but when Oh (Parsons) accidentally sends on invite to his housewarming to the entire galaxy, he finds himself n the run from his own people, joining forces with a young girl named Gratuity ‘Tip’ Tucci (Rihanna) who is desperately trying to find her mother (Lopez).

This was a fun movie that most children will enjoy, though there weren’t as many comic nods to adults as some of the better Dreamworks movies. Surprisingly this wasn’t quite as good as The Penguins Of Madagascar, but rather than plot (which was kind of derivative, and even the surprises weren’t all that surprising) this movie focussed on the burgeoning friendship between the two leads. The ending does feel a little tacked on, like they had to do something to show what happens after the events of the movie, but it’s still a likeable flick.
