This animated movie had potential in my book, but it falls hard and flat.  It’s about an astronaut that lands on an alien planet, but all of the aliens live like humans, so they think he’s the alien.  Cute concept with a lot of wiggle room for humor, but it just never quite clicked.

Dwayne Johnson (AKA The Rock) is the voice of the arrogant astronaut, and with his comical success in other movies, I thought he would be the perfect fit.  The writers’ material was just too cheesy for him to pull off.  Even the way the aliens talked on their planet was lame, and it wasn’t much different from ours.

It’s rated PG, and it’s not too scary so little ones should like it.  It’s not in 3-D (unlike the majority of animated releases this year), but I don’t think that would’ve helped it.  The script was lousy, the story was too predictable and unfortunately, there’s not a lot of adult humor hidden inside for parents to enjoy too.

Who to take to this movie: little kids

Don’t see this movie if: you could care less about cartoon aliens
