Review of Home (2015) by Akin U — 21 Apr 2016

"Today is best day ever." Not only is it Christmas, it's also the beginning of a wacky alien invasion in the family comedy Home. The story follows a misfit alien named Oh who becomes an outcast among his people and teams up with a lost human child, agreeing to help her find her mother who was relocated during the invasion.

Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin, and Jennifer Lopez lead the voice cast and give strong performances. And the animation is really good, with some interesting designs for the aliens and their technology.

Also, the humor is pretty funny; featuring a lot of fish-out-of-water jokes and word puns. However, the music (mostly by Rihanna) is extremely intrusive and takes the audience out of the film. Additionally, the conclusion is a little contrived and overly simplistic.

While Home is not without its problems, it's entertaining and delivers plenty of laughs.
