Home (2015)

"The short animated film Almost Home was used as a sort-of prequel trailer for this DreamWorks Animated feature. With Steve Martin voicing the leader/dictator/head jerk of a race of dumpy purple aliens called The Boov, the short was pretty darn funny with snappy, slapstick humour that could have come straight from the Looney Tunes vault."

"Unimaginative and downright predictable by grownup standards, but bursting with elements sure to appeal to younger auds."

"Original and fresh, with an easy to understand narrative that finds its endearing protagonist Oh on a journey that takes him from zero to hero."

"Inoffensive but flavourless, and crammed with familiar elements from better movies like Lilo and Stitch, Toy Story and Despicable Me."

"This underdeveloped offering barely lifts itself off the drawing board."

"An entertaining odd-couple comedy on very traditional lines..."

"The story has a pleasant warmth to it - together with a vague message about individuality and tolerance - and Parsons does a terrific job bringing the charmingly open-hearted Oh to life."

"The Boov are merely Minions of a different hue."

"Mostly harmless."
