"Robert Hoffman shows off his exceptional ability for physical comedy during hilarious mind-control sequences here. In fact, he's very funny in all his scenes."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
2/4
"Remarkably unremarkable; a lively war of the worlds diversion with plenty of spunky special effects, gratuitous slapstick, and Ashley Tisdale parading around in a bikini for all the dads out there."

2/4
"
Aliens in the Attic
is inoffensively mediocre, bereft of subtext and depth but too playful to get terribly bent out of shape about its shortcomings. It could have been a whole lot better, but it also could have been a great deal worse."

"Small pleasures aside, the movie doesn't offer anything particularly memorable or inventive."

"Isn't all that bad...but it lacks magic, and except as a harmless diversion for the youngsters on a rainy afternoon, you can safely hold off until it shows up on DVD."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"Disliking Aliens in the Attic because it is so blatantly aimed at kids is like disliking the desert for having no water in it . . ."

3/5
"I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone over the age of fifteen who isn't trying to relive their youth from the 1980s."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
"Five minutes into the film, I already was hating these monsters. The kids, I mean, not the aliens..."

B-
"What works best in the film are the special effects, clearly the primary focus as the talented cast gets less attention than the CGI and wire work."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
"Most of all, it comes as a bit of a relief to see a movie aimed at kids that doesn't come with the increasingly irritating 3-D gimmick, the distracting vocal contributions of big-name stars or elaborate backstories"

Peter Sobczynski
3.5/5
"High energy levels and some genuinely hilarious set pieces make this kids' alien-invasion romp a lot more fun than expected. It's not, erm, rocket science, but it's a thoroughly entertaining ride from start to finish."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
1.5/4
"What else can be said of a film in which even the vocal talent of J.K. Simmons is virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the cast?"
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
4/10
"Iyt's a cheesy kids-to-the-rescue adventure that should soar in popularity when it's released on DVD."
