After a hive-minded alien race called the Boov conquer the Earth, they relocate the planet's human population -- all except for a little girl named Tip (Rihanna), who's managed to hide from the aliens. When Tip meets a fugitive Boov called Oh (Jim Parsons), there's mutual distrust. However, Oh is not like his comrades; he craves friendship and fun. As their distrust fades, the pair set out together to find Tip's mother, but, unbeknown to them, the Gorg -- enemies of the Boov -- are en route.

Critics Consensus

Colorful, silly, and utterly benign, Home is a passable diversion, but there's no shortage of superior animated alternatives.

When Tip and Oh realize how wrong they've been about so many things, they begin moving toward real maturity and growth. That's something viewers of all ages can appreciate.

Rated: 3.5/5

Heartwarming and harmless? Sure, why not. But it's also numbing in its simplicity and often rather annoying.

Rated: 1.5/4

Home is a fun adventure comedy that seeks to, behind its child movie facade, find a few answers on tolerance, life in society, accepting what's different and dependence on technology. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 7/10

Home is an engaging animated adventure that will appeal far more to those under 8 than their accompanying adults.

Rated: 3/5

Okay, I don’t know who said this movie sucks, but they are wrong because Home is amazing! It’s funny, super cute, and has way more heart than people give it credit for. They picked the prefect cast ever Jim parsons from young Sheldon and Rihanna like what better could they have done? Their friendship feels so real, and watching them go from total opposites to best friends is honestly one of the best parts of the movie. Also in connection also felt so real. Also, the music?? Absolute fire. Every song fits so perfectly, and I’m not gonna lie, it had me wanting to get up and dance. Rihanna’s soundtrack just makes the whole movie feel even more fun and emotional at the same time. The animation is so bright and colorful, and the humor actually has me laugh out loud. But beyond all that, it has such a sweet message about family, friendship, and finding your place in the world. Whoever said they hate Home—they’re a whole clown because this movie is nothing but good vibes! If you haven’t seen it find time in you day and watch it (I have no idea but when i first watched it I cried)(I mean it’s pretty sad to)

Basically this movie ruined cinema for me with its pop songs and a unnecessary celebrity voice cast. 👎 (I like Jim Parsons and everything he’s in)
