The critic consesnsus is: Inoffensive and kid-friendly this mundane family comedy is light on imagination.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?
1. Even though the basics are in place, they've been squandered by director John Schultz - a man who doesn't seem to have the first idea about how to shoot action, or comedy, or anything else.
2. High energy levels and some genuinely hilarious set pieces make this kids' alien-invasion romp a lot more fun than expected. It's not, erm, rocket science, but it's a thoroughly entertaining ride from start to finish.
3. Gremlins meets Goonies meets something stultifyingly inept in a sci-fi adventure for the very young.
4. This is one of those once-seen-immediately-forgotten enterprises which avoids anything memorable or imaginative in favour of fast, functional, charisma-free busy-ness.
5. It's one thing that the script has a moronic premise. It's another that the writers don't have anything clever to add to that premise.
6. There's nothing really new here: it's all sub-Home Alone nonsense.
7. Most of all, it comes as a bit of a relief to see a movie aimed at kids that doesn't come with the increasingly irritating 3-D gimmick, the distracting vocal contributions of big-name stars or elaborate backstories
8. Agonizingly lame.
9. Cue some uninspired but reasonably entertaining mayhem. The aliens are mediocre CGI bipeds who wouldn't last 10 seconds against a horde of Gremlins.
10. Undemanding and occasionally lol, Aliens in the Attic will have the youngsters in stitches at some of the fight scenes... entertaining and sometimes goofy family comedy
