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

Contains good moral lessons wrapped up in a shiny package with giggles for the kids and even a laugh or two for parents who will have top accompany the little ones.

Not the greatest heartwarming movie, but I like it. I used to feel obsessed with a certain movie, mainly it would be a DreamWorks one (like I was obsessed with "Mr Peabody & Sherman"). It was the right thing to go & see it on a Sunday morning & whenever I watch it on DVD, it would feel like my birthday. It's lovely about the story about 2 odd ones out of different species (a human & an alien (boov)). Oh was different, he carried more than others, he was a bit of a nuisance turning him into a fugitive. Whilst Tip was very successful with geometry but was apparently a nerd. When they met each other, things were out of hand - Oh expressed what Boovs were like & Tip taught about how to be a friend in this amusing adventure. The cast was lovely: it must be just me who found it fun to cast Jim Parsons as the Boov protagonist & it was one time Rihanna made a good role as portraying a teenager (not when she was Smurfette). I think the story is comparable to both "Ron's Gone Wrong" & "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" because of teaching how to be a friend (imperfect) & that Captain Smek had taken babies that did not belong to him & had to escape from their parent. Could have been a Blue Sky movie.
