Review of Home (2015) by Ranny L — 27 May 2015

Home is a movie about a funny, interesting alien named Oh who is part of the "Boov" species, voiced by Jim Parsons and a smart adventurous girl named Tip, voiced by Rihanna. They cross paths as Tip is trying to run away from the "Boov" species, that invades planet Earth and, without meaning any harm, snatches the humans out of their homes and move them into a new community built by the Boov on the other side of the world.

This movie is a great family-friendly film that I would watch again and again if I had the choice. It is funnier than I expected and even though it is a bit predictable, there are still unexpected turns that the movie takes that make it even more fun to watch.

In this movie, there are some familiar voices that you will enjoy. Rihanna voices Gratuiti Tucchi (aka Tip) and even has some of her own music in there that sets the mood for those scenes. Jennifer Lopez voices Tip's mom and, even though she doesn't have many lines, she sings an amazing song called "Feel the light" that is one of my favorites. Aside from the women that are great in this film, another person I really enjoyed is Jim Parsons who plays Oh. He is funny and perfectly fits the role. I could totally see him playing a character like Oh based on his character on the popular show "The Big Bang Theory".

Something I really enjoyed about this movie is that it is very unique. Even though there are lots of movies about aliens, this one stands out. From the famous voices to the humor, I laughed so loud that the people in the theatre gave me weird looks. It is just that funny.

I recommend this movie for kids age 5 to 18 but event adults will enjoy this. The jokes aren't too hard to understand, the story is simple and very enjoyable. This movie gets 5 out of 5 stars from me because it is a movie to remember.
