Plot

edit

A cowardly alien race known as the "Boov", led by Captain Smek, commence their "friendly" invasion on the planet Earth. Relocating the humans, whom the Boov deem as simple and backwards, to theAustralian Outback,the Boov inhabit their homes. Oh, an accident-prone, free-thinking Boov, decides to invite the other Boov to his apartment for a housewarming party, but no one comes. Meanwhile, 13-year-old[6]Gratuity "Tip" Tucci and herJapanese Bobtailcat Pig, who managed to avoid being taken during the invasion, drive around the city searching for Lucy, Tip's mom.

Oh visits grumpy Boovtraffic officerKyle, to invite him to the party. However, Oh accidentally sends the invitation email to every alien race in the galaxy, including the "Gorg". The Gorg have been the Boov's longtime enemy ever since a failed peace meeting, during which Captain Smek stole an artifact he later dubbed "The Shusher". Furious with Oh for revealing their new home to the Gorg, the Boov declare him a fugitive. Oh walks back to a pod, telling the assistant to take him to Paris, and then refuses and wants to go to Antarctica, the only place on Earth with no Boovs. The assistant refuses and initiates self-destruct for 5 seconds, and the pod had popped. Oh then runs into a store named "Just Lamps", and just as he starts walking he steps on the switches, which makes the lamps turn on. Tip sees Oh get dancing in fear. Oh attempts to run away and hide, ending up in a convenience store, just as Tip crashes the car and enters the store in search of supplies. Tip attacks Oh on sight, and locks him in a freezer, until he promises to fix her car, which he turns into a flying craft named "Slushious".

To hide from the Boov, Oh promises to help Tip find her mom, Lucy. However, he secretly plans to abandon Tip and take himself toAntarctica.He attempts to abandon Tip in a public restroom but is thwarted by Kyle, who arrives to force Oh to give him his email password so Smek can cancel the party invitation that Oh sent.

Escaping Kyle, Oh and Tip head toPariswhere the Boov Command Centre, and manage to sneak in. Oh cancels the invitation before it reaches the Gorg; he then looks for Lucy, and the computer confirms she is in a human camp in Australia, where she is also looking for her daughter. Trying to return to Slushious, Oh and Tip are cornered by Smek and many other Boov at the Great Antenna (Eiffel Tower). Smek orders Oh's execution. Tip uses a Boov gravity device to turn the tower upside down, and she and Oh escape.

Oh informs Tip that he no longer believes Smek's propaganda about humans being simple and backward, and apologizes to her. They fly to Australia, but are surrounded by hundreds of Boov fleeing from Gorgdrones,sent to search for them. Slushious is wrecked, but Oh finds a GorgSuperChipin a crashed drone, and uses it to repair the car.

When they reach the human relocation camp, Oh realizes the other Boov are evacuating, and fears that the Gorg will take vengeance on Earth when they cannot find the Boov. He tries to convince Tip to flee with them, but she refuses. Oh joins the Boov, and the Gorg attacks the Boovs' mothership. Oh runs back towards the Gorg to use the SuperChip to power the Boov mothership, while the other Boov are running away. Impressed at his bravery, the other Boov listen as Oh berates Captain Smek for his lies, and the other Boov for their cowardice. Moved, Kyle takes the Shusher from a horrified Smek and decrees that Oh should be the new captain. Oh reluctantly accepts, turns the Boovs' ship around, and returns to Earth. He helps Tip reunite with Lucy, fulfilling his promise.

Realizing from a chance remark of Tip's that the Gorg are actually tracking the Shusher and not the Boov, Oh locks Tip and Lucy inside Slushious, and faces the approaching Gorg's mothership alone. Tip and Lucy escape and try to stop him. He returns the Shusher, which is revealed to be an egg containing the entire next generation of Gorg. The lone Gorg inside the ship happily accepts the egg; he is the last of his kind, and he had been desperately searching for his children.

Two weeks later, the Boov have relocated their colony to the Moon. Many Boov visit Earth and mingle with the humans, who are restored to their original homes. Oh moves in with the Tuccis; many other aliens, invited by Oh, come to visit Earth and attend his parties.

Pacific Data Imagesdid production services for the film before its closure in January 2015.[citation needed]

Critical response

edit

Review aggregation websiteRotten Tomatoesgives the film a score of 53% based on reviews from 137 critics, with an average rating of 5.5/10. The website's consensus reads, "Colorful, silly, and utterly benign,Homeis a passable diversion, but there's no shortage of superior animated alternatives. "[43]OnMetacritic,which assigns aweighted average rating,the film has a score of 55 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[44]InCinemaScorepolls conducted during the opening weekend, cinema audiences gaveHomean average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[32]

Michael Rechtshaffen ofThe Hollywood Reportersaid, "There may be no place like home, but there are a lot of places likeHome,an animated adventure about the unlikely friendship between a lonely girl and an alien misfit that can't help but feel familiar. "[45]James Rocchi ofThe Wrapgave the film a positive review, saying "As animated sci-fi for small fry, it's a success whose modest but well-executed ambitions are no small part of its charm."[46]Stephen Whitty gave the film two out of five stars, saying "The Gummi-colored animation is imaginative, but director Tim Johnson's ho-hum 3D cartoon remains strictly 1D."[47]Rafer Guzman ofNewsdaygave the film two out of four stars, saying "The film moves quickly and keeps the jokes coming, which only means thatHomewould rather keep young viewers occupied than give them something to think about. "[48]Ben Sachs of theChicago Readergave the film a negative review, saying "Aggressive and cynical approach to children's entertainment, pummeling viewers with mechanical-looking action sequences (which suggest video game demos), unfunny one-liners, and overly loud pop songs and sound effects."[49]Claudia Puig ofUSA Todaygave the film two out of five stars, saying "Key characters are admirably diverse, but the fast-paced tale is thoroughly predictable."[50]

Soren Anderson ofThe Seattle Timesgave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "It works moderately well thanks largely to the voice talents of Jim Parsons and, to a lesser extent, Steve Martin. Two droll dudes who put a fair share of funny into this animated picture."[51]Neil Genzlinger ofThe New York Timescalled the film "A charming concoction with positive messages for younger children about conquering fears, understanding outsiders and knowing yourself."[52]Betsy Sharkey of theLos Angeles Timesgave the film a negative review, saying "Tension is one ofHome's biggest issues. There just isn't nearly enough of it. Story is another. Even a kids' movie needs more complexity and more invention. "[53]Linda Barnard of theToronto Stargave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "Aside from Parsons' initially amusingly mangled Yoda-like English, which gets a tad repetitive,Homedoesn't stand out as fresh or particularly funny. "[54]Dana Rose Falcone ofEntertainment Weeklygave the film an A−, saying "The combination ofHome's layered message, fun score, and clever comedy make it a colorful choice for moviegoers of any age. "[55]Stephanie Zacharek ofThe Village Voicegave the film a mixed review, saying "If director Tim Johnson -- adapting Adam Rex's bookThe True Meaning of Smekday-- can't do much with the story's confused, if well-intentioned, agenda, at least he's got some charming, vivid characters to work with. "[56]Richard Roeperof theChicago Sun-Timesgave the film a C, saying "Anyone over 10 will see the plot twists a mile away. Kids will probably enjoy the goofy Boovs, the rainbows of colors and the music. Call me a traditionalist, but I still say the world was a better place before those darn Boovs invaded."[57]

Peter Debruge ofVarietygave the film a negative review, saying "From a creative standpoint, this is the studio's least exciting feature yet - hardly its worst, execution-wise, but entirely lacking in the risk-taking spirit that has spawned such successful franchises asShrek,Kung Fu PandaandDragon."[58]Barbara VanDenburgh ofThe Arizona Republicgave the film two out of five stars, saying "For all its energy, razzle-dazzle and whiz-bang technology, it doesn't know how to tell a simple story or cobble together three-dimensional characters, and that's a problem not even the best of 3-D glasses can fix."[59]Susan Wloszczyna ofRogerEbert.comgave the film two out of four stars, saying "I kept thinking aboutLilo & Stitchwhile watchingHome,a decidedly disappointing effort based on the popular kid-lit bookThe True Meaning of Smekdayfrom the already embattled folks at DreamWorks Animation.
