Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) The actual plot is thin to the point of absurdity, much of it hinging on the aliens stumbling on an Earth infomercial and conceiving the desire to buy a certain kind of vibrating mat. Rated: 2/5 Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Tonally and narratively, Luis and the Aliens is a dog's dinner. Rated: 1/5 Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Ed Potton Times (UK) Parents will have to be end-of-holidays desperate to take their little darlings to this punishingly uninspired animation. Rated: 1/5 Aug 24, 2018 Full Review James Croot The Post NZ While the characters and situations may be a little too predictable and farcical for sustained enjoyable supervised viewing, there's an overall feeling of fun that emanates from the just-right running time. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Adam Fresco Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) It has the feel of a movie put together by a committee, determined to reach for mediocrity. Rated: 1/5 Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) A cartoon in which charm and humour are missing. Rated: 2/5 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I loved the part where Luis tried to commit check fraud Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Robby R I have watched this movie quite a few times with my friends, and it is just so bad that it's kinda good. If you're just wanting to watch a dumb movie at a sleepover or something, this is the right movie. They definitely taught some of the voice actors English for this movie, but it's not a terrible movie, and some of the humor comes from the stupid way that some words are pronounced. (i.e boo-gur) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Kris S The animation definitely isn't up there with the top animation companies or whatever but for a movie that I sat down and watched with my little sister over the weekend, it's actually pretty funny. The characters are likeable and the plot is entertaining enough. The movie is good in its own unique way, at least I think. I'd recommend it if you're fond of stupid and funny kids movies. I would not recommend it if you are a killjoy movie critic. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review Katherine Claire T I think Jesus hates humanity because of this film Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Janene B Here I was thinking I was going to watch some sort of sci-fi film and instead I get the most hilarious animated film I've ever seen, highly recommended! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review William O I love it ever since I was a kid Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
