After seeing the previews, I wasn't expecting the movie to be anything other than cheesy. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I think that the young actors had great chemistry together on screen (even though Ashley Tisdale started to get on my nerves). The acting was average, but I remained awake through the entire movie :).
It definitely was not an Oscar-winning film, but it was enjoyable. For a matinée, it was a great way to spend the afternoon. It is directed more towards the younger crowd. In the film, they talked about modern day technology a lot (like the Wii, BlueTooth, and such). But I think adults, with open minds, will find the movie to be clean fun. The only questionable moment that I can recall is that Tom says, "Get off my planet, you, (nasty name) but he is cut off before he can finish. Younger kids probably wouldn't catch it because it is in the heat of a climactic scene. Other then that it was a clean, fun movie. Also, the "no gravity" parts and the part where Sparks makes the girl's hair stand up were pretty interesting to watch.
Overall, Aliens in the Attic was a clean, tween film. It was definitely not a summer blockbuster, but it was very enjoyable for a day out.
