Can't Wait! submitted by purunai on August 5, 2015, 2:46pm I've heard that this is a really good movie; can't wait to watch it!

Was ok submitted by AprilCDB on August 30, 2015, 7:48pm Was ok to watch at home, glad I didn't spend a small fortune to see it at the theatre. I pretty quickly figured out the real story behind the movie, though I wasn't sure why they were being chased and had to keep relocating. They deserved to be chased relentlessly.

Oh is funny submitted by DL on June 21, 2016, 9:02am Aliens trying to take over the earth could be scary for some children, but the character Oh is funny in his clueless nature.

Home submitted by SBNB on August 10, 2017, 3:27pm Cute movie. My 3-year-old and I were both entertained. The main Boov character, Oh, reminded me of my bother-in-law, and that made it extra entertaining.

So cute! submitted by Xris on June 25, 2018, 9:16pm Jim Parsons does such a great job of voicing the alien! I liked it when she turned on the music and his body started dancing. Loved it! <3

Super cute submitted by anacoluthon on August 23, 2018, 1:13pm This was such a cute movie! I really enjoyed it.

Another underrated classic from Dreamworks submitted by Margaret on August 8, 2023, 1:55am Home was a little different than the other DreamWorks movies. Well, I have to admit the storyline was a little bit strange. I did love the stellar voice cast and the animation. Jim parsons (otherwise known as Sheldon Cooper from the big bang theory) really hit it out of the park is the main character Oh. Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez were wonderful as Tip and her mother. And it was really cool to hear Steve Martin’s voice coming out of our cartoon again. Another bright point was the music. “Dancing in the dark” was my favorite song in the film. If they ever do a follow up story, it would be really interesting to see would be like. If you haven’t checked it out yet, please do it’s a really good movie for kids and adults.
