Critics Consensus

Planet 51 squanders an interesting premise with an overly familiar storyline, stock characters, and humor that alternates between curious and potentially offensive.

It looks good but outside of that it's not going to entertain. All the good ideas aren't original and all the original ideas aren't good. The jokes are too crude for children and too inane for adults. It's a movie for nobody

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

Planet 51 is no instant classic, but it does rate as a pleasant diversion, a kind of bridge on connecting holiday blockbusters with movies you can take the kids to.
