Aliens in the Attic—a little scary, a little comedy—marks itself
with just the right mix to appeal to the wider audience for entertainment
value. The movie wisely chooses cast built on a family’s wide span of
generational ages who are each involved in the interests appropriate to their
ages and then throws them into situations quite inappropriate to those ages.
This enables comedy to break the horror of the quite terrifying aliens living
in the attic and makes this a movie worth watching for the whole family. The presentation
is intriguing, and the acting is fair/good. The writing is solid, Disney-style
story-telling that relies on honest, clean delivery that is fresh and quite
welcome. The animation of the aliens is still great 13 years later with no lack
of creativity in mixing the animated world with the human world. Watch for
Ashley Tisdale’s very good performance as the teen in the middle of young love.
Storyline
Aliens endeavor to retrieve something that
belongs to them while a family tries to vacation in a leased vacation home.
