Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

GazerRise Fantastic!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

yeasmin02 I have absolutely NO idea why people were so disappointed with this movie. I've watched this movie a couple of times now, and all of the times I smiled a lot and cried when it got serious(which it did like 1 time). The music choice fits the movie, the lead role voices fits perfectly if you ask me, Jim Parsons voice makes this movie 10 times more fun. Why were people so disappointed? I'm actually really confused, because to me this movie was really cute and enjoyable. I really think people should give it a chance and that they're over exaggerating. C'mon, it's a movie for kids, chill out. I'm an adult and I can proudly say I enjoyed this movie. Stop expecting so much from kids movies. Would recommend, you'll definitely feel happier after watching this.

Lizzy m The plot, animation,and connection between the characters were cute, but honestly, it wasn't Dreamworks's best work. The movie was decent,and I want to love it, but Rihanna's role pretty much ruined it for me. I felt like Tip's age and persona didn't match with the Rihanna's voice too well in my opinion, and her character in general seemed so basic. "Oh", the other protagonist, was adorable, and I think had more character development than Tip's, and he seemed much more interesting. The film wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either, they tried, you can tell, but they didn't pull it off all too well in my opinion, DreamWorks could've done better. However I do like their Netflix original series (same name), the humor is much more fluid, the characters are much more developed, and in each episode they have such an original plot, so at least they've had a positive outcome from the movie.

Evan Wheatley "Let's go see that new movie with the cute alien!" my girlfriend said as I sighed internally. Animated films are typically not my cup of tea, and out of all the action-packed blockbusters out at the time like "Kingsman" and "Furious 7," she had to choose the Sheldon Cooper alien flick. However, in every relationship it is important to strive to make the other person happy, so we went to see the cute alien movie…and I was pleasantly surprised by DreamWorks' "Home." Jim Parsons stars as Oh, a whimsical, accident-prone alien part of the race known as the Boov. The movie opens with narration from Oh explaining whom the Boov are, how their society works and their current predicament. On the run from the menacing Gorg, the Boov discover and invade the Earth in a friendly fashion, deeming it a suitable place to seek refuge. After transferring the human population to a remote location on the planet, the Boov effortlessly occupy the cities of Earth and add a personal touch to the established human society.Shortly after their arrival, Oh decides to host a party for the other Boov in his apartment. When no one shows up, Oh tries to convince Kyle (Matt Jones), a Boov cop who Oh claims is his best friend, to come to the party. Rather than sending a single invite to Kyle however, he accidentally sends a mass invite to every species in the galaxy, including the Gorg. Already not being liked by his kind for his odd and eccentric nature, this mistake results in Oh becoming a fugitive. While all this is happening, a young human girl named Tip (Rihanna) is driving through the city with her cat Pig after being separated from her mother during the invasion. By chance, Tip and Pig cross paths with Oh as he is fleeing the Boov authorities. Tip has a burning hatred for the Boov because of the invasion, and this is exhibited in her encounter with Oh. However, after realizing that Oh can help reunite her with her mother, Tip reluctantly allows him to travel with her and Pig.The chemistry between Jim Parsons and Rihanna is the driving force behind the story. Oh is adorable. Parsons and the animators do a great job in conveying the positive attitude that characterizes Oh while also subtly showing the underlying sadness that he feels from being an outcast. The gradual shift in Tip's demeanor towards Oh and the friendship that develops between them is also fun to watch. Steve Martin, Jennifer Lopez and Matt Jones also do well in their supporting roles.While the plot is not quite as jumbled as expected, the writing is still the weakest aspect of the film. Oh's narration in the opening minutes throws the audience right into the world of the Boov and the Gorg in an approach that feels slightly rushed and forced. In addition to this, the Boov speak in a broken form of English not alluded to in Oh's monologue at the beginning, which made the first several minutes of the movie puzzling for me. Once you're settled into the film however, you will begin to smile, laugh and possibly cry at the comical, yet moving story unfolding on screen.I have never been a fan of the 3D gimmick. Today it is overused, not used to its full potential and expensive. However, the cinematography in this movie stood out to me particularly because of the way the 3D was utilized in the opening thirty minutes of the film. There is one shot in particular in which the camera weaves in and out of various rooms and a ventilation shaft in a house. This is neat to watch in and of itself, but the 3D feature makes the viewer actually feel like he or she is in the room, flying amidst the clutter and the small corridors in the ventilation shaft.Thanks to a star-studded cast, a fairly cohesive script and effective visuals, "Home" is a funny, warm and heart-felt film that will appeal to audiences of all ages. A couple of takeaway points from the experience: never judge a book by its cover, and guys don't be hesitant to let the lady choose the movie every once and a while, she just might surprise you.

han_hoang2002 Actually it's more of a 0 out of 10. The movie was not as good as I expected it would be. The only thing I like about it is that the cast was really good. The film is so boring and predictable. And the worst thing about it that they just keep playing the same song for every scene. And the scene that is thought the most emotional in the whole film wasn't that emotional. It's just so predictable, They can still make the movie without that death scene, it doesn't need to be added in to the movie. Even if Oh did died, it still wasn't meaningful and i can't believe someone cried when watching that part. And I hate Tip, she's a bitch, Oh fixed her car and she didn't even thank him, she kicked him in the face while he was just trying to be nice to her. Also the jokes in this movie sucks and NOT FUNNY. I thought a movie made by Dreamworks would be cool so i'm very disappointed. Also, i hate that they used the same song in every scene of the movie. And we only need ONE emotional song for that ONE emotional moment Because the song was used before so when they used it again in THE emotional scene, I didn't feel sad or anything. So this is a failure.Again, I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE this movie
