    Forgettable music video

    As a fan of animated films and Jim Parsons, Home felt like something I would enjoy. When the first Rihanna song started playing, I grew skeptical. When the next one started, I got tired of it. There's actually 5 Rihanna songs in the film. 5. Five. Along with Rihanna playing one of the lead roles. And I should mention that her character is not singing these songs. She's just listening and dancing to Rihanna. Sorry, but nope. Home started feeling like a commercial for some Rihanna album or a very long music video. I don't think I will remember this film, but if I do it would be for exactly that, and I would forget the story.

    However, if you're not like me and don't care about such things, the movie itself is pretty cute.

    Just a good little animation movie

    Home is a good animation movie, nothing more and nothing less. It is not as horrible as some are making it out to be. It does start off slow but then it picks up and you start liking it. In the end it depends a lot on how much you like the 2 main characters and the music. I did like the characters enough to care about them. The music was just OK except one song which was great.

    Home is not what I would call a great movie though. You can't compare it to the likes of Beauty & the Beast, Lion King, Tangled, etc.

    My advice to anyone who is planning to watch Home is to be patient at the start and follow the interactions of the main characters closely. This is a movie about relationships. If you liked Frozen then chances are you will like Home.

    Ok

    The movie is fine to watch with good animation. Not the best movie from DreamWorks but a good time

    Clever and above average..!

    This is not the kind of movie that will stay with you forever. I have seen better animated movies in the past. BUT it's a movie that you will definitely have a good time watching, laughing and laughing again. I loved the way this little alien was depicted, using Jim Parsons' ticks and facial expressions! The concept of the aliens taking different colors based on their mood was just to die for!

    The story was OK and the time it lasted was sufficient (I always root for longer movies instead of shorter). Overall, it was a cute cute movie in the end! We laughed a lot, and although we are genre-fanatics (being in our 30s watching these movies without kids), I think that the average movie fan will also like it.

    It was time well-spent on a movie and I sincerely recommend it!

    It is indeed recommended for you and your kids if you have any Or just for you if you're just a lonely Boov like me and you just love watching movies.

    One of the funniest Animation movies this year so far, The plot is vibrant and story is so fresh and funny, there are a lot of balanced comedy and of emotional scenes, the writers did a great job on the screenplay (worked before on Get Smart and Epic) with multi funny scenes and full of extrinsic and adventitious jokes. The events flowing smoothly in the movie and when you first think the troubles are over well it appears it still far from it.

    As a big bang theory fan, Casting Jim Parsons was kinda weirdly Adventurous but seeing the role itself needed a hesitant yet confident kinda snobby chatter voice like Sheldon Cooper, then you hear a lot of recognizable voices like Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Steve Martin a really highly paid cast ;)

    Overall, i loved watching it and it is indeed recommended for you and your kids if you have any or just you if you're just a lonely Boov like me and you just love watching movies. ;) enjoy it guys.
