Video game meets movie in this wacky science-fiction action film. When aliens from space invade the attic of a rented lake house, a boring summer vacation takes a turn for the unreal for six kids. Conflict abounds in the extended Pearson family, which includes Nana (Dora Roberts), two nerdy adult brothers (Kevin Nealon and Andy Richter), and their six children. Teenage cousins Tom (Carter Jenkins), an ex-math nerd, and Jake (Austin Robert Butler), a rebellious teen with lots of attitude, clash like oil and water, and Bethany (Ashley Tisdale) and her devious boyfriend, Ricky (Robert Hoffman), don’t make the situation any easier. Add in three younger siblings and it looks like it’s going to be a long vacation. When four aliens crash on the roof of the house in search of a secret weapon and world domination, things begin to get interesting. Armed with mind-control technology, the aliens are able to manipulate humans with a device that’s remarkably similar to a video game controller. Unfortunately for the aliens, the technology works only on adults. Suddenly, the warring cousins and siblings realize they must join forces and rely on one another to save their parents, Nana, and the rest of the world. What ensues is an action-packed battle in which the kids try to outsmart the aliens with everything from fireworks to a remote-controlled Barbie car and a paintball gun. When the kids get ahold of the aliens’ controllers, hilarity reins as they make Ricky and Nana do everything from slap themselves to fight as only an accomplished Kung-Fu Grandma can. The action is funny and the kids get fairly creative, but the movie is really just a farce that’s full of silly humor, the occasional glimpse of heart, and a somewhat buried message that it’s OK to be smart. Aliens in the Attic is kind of like watching someone else play a good video game; the plot is fairly entertaining and the action is fun, but the experience just isn’t as stimulating as when you’re the one behind the controller. Bonus features include the animated short “Behind the Zirkonians,” an alternate ending, three deleted scenes, a 5-minute gag reel, an interactive “Meet the Zirkonians” segment, and fun on the set with Ashley Tisdale in “The Ashley Encounters.” (Ages 7 and older) –Tami Horiuchi

User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars A great movie for the Family
Aliens in the attic is your typical, fun Family comedy. Hollywood churns out dozens of these a year, and some are memorable(Beethoven), and some are not (Kazaam). Aliens in the attic is easily lost in the stampede of family films from 2009, but that’s unfortunate. Even though the plot, gags, and dialogue isn’t exactly unique, that doesn’t mean it should be dismissed. The movie is actually quite good.
The children are the main actors in the picture and they do an excellent job. The adults all play supporting roles and do so well. My only complaint is that at times the adults were just to vanilla. Expecially the cop played by Tim Meadows, didn’t he used to be funny..
The one Adult that I really enjoyed was Doris Roberts, who is really funny in this picture.
The special f/x won’t blow you away but they are done very well. The fight scenes in the movie will be all to familiar for the dads who grew up playing Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat(that for me put the movie over the top)
In short, a great movie that families will enjoy watching and laughing through
5 Stars Great family fun1

5 Stars Funny Movie
First of alll, they couldn’t have chosen a better “nana” than Doris (only name I like her by, lol). This was a very, very cute movie. I was surprised that I laughed so much.
