Home (Dreamworks Animation, 2015)

I adored this so much! Sweet, charming, and so funny! Oh, and did I tear up a few times as well I must admit. Surprised at how effective it was at established at the right tone, and supplying itself with warmth and heart bringing the relationship between the strong, clever, feisty Tip and her absent mother, and Tip's and Oh's relationship to quite moving ends.

Rihanna and Jim Parsons make for some brilliant, inspired casting. Great chemistry together, and much ado to them for really making the film work imo. Steve Martin is fun, too. I saw it in 3D, and the animation was vibrant and dazzling. Pleasant surprise from Dreamworks, tho disappointed to see this have such a low RT score. As a big Rihanna fan (and almost sole reason why I saw the film) love her supplying most of the soundtrack, and with original music! As Real As You and Me for the Oscar plz. However great to see it score big at the boxoffice, and significantly higher than the estimates were. Good for Dreamworks, but considering their over-eagerness for franchising I hope it doesn't necessarily mean a Home 2, Home 3, and Home 4 are on the way.

As far as movies about aliens invading Earth starring Rihanna go this was MUCH better than Battleship lol

Oh wow, i don't know what you guys where watching but this is by far the worst Dreamworks CGI movie they've done, probably the worst Dreamworks movie period. It was bloody awful and completely ridiculous and devoid of any humour

I'm with you on this one.

I thought it got a lot better towards the end, and it kind of connected with me by that point, but for the whole first half and a fair bit of the second half it was pretty poor. The humour was aimed very young I suppose.

I kind of feel like Dreamworks does that with some of their films. There's the Kung Fu Pandas and the Madagascars and such, but then they aim for a younger demographic with stuff like this and Peabody & Sherman. They just feel more aimed at younger kids. They also tend to be their worst films.

Oh and Rihanna did a pretty decent job as a voice actor, though I got tired of hearing her on the sountrack.

I actually liked Peabody & Sherman, although it did seems to aim at a younger audience it still connected with me and i liked the whole time travel aspect. And kudos to them for making a decent movie out a really bad cartoon from the 60's

But Home was just bad, it felt rushed and really out of place, made no sense at all
