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.

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.

This movie is very funny. It’s simple, but entertaining with great one-liners and characters. Great background movie with great visuals and rewatching.

A nice story with great music. My kids love it and we have rewatched it many times since it first arrived on Netflix so many years ago. Even when the kiddos fall asleep I still finish the movie. Fun, funny and heartwarming.

Home is a fun, cute movie with plenty of enjoyable moments, but it suffers from uneven pacing. The beginning rushes by so quickly that it doesn't give you much time to settle into the story, while the middle slows down to a crawl before picking up again. Despite these pacing issues, the film's music, featuring tracks from Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez, adds a vibrant, music-video-like energy to the movie. The ending was sweet, and overall, I had a great time watching it. I'd give it a solid 3.75 out of 5. Fun, but could have been better paced!

Can't stop thinking about this movie I remember I watched this movie at the cinema when I was 12-year-old. I love the song, storyline, animation, and overall about this movie. I tried hard not to cry because I was a nonchalant person back then, but I couldn't. Please don't judge my 12-year-old self hahaha, i find this movie very sentimental for me. Until now I still listening to 'Towards The Sun' and 'Feel The Light'. Recommend
