Its production cost was $135 million, with a similar sum spent for prints and advertising (P&A). Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $29.12 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film. A cowardly alien race known as the Boov, led by Captain Smek, commence their "friendly" invasion of the planet Earth. Relocating the humans, whom the Boov deem as simple and backwards, to the Australian Outback, the Boov inhabit their homes. Oh, an accident-prone, free-thinking Boov, decides to invite the other Boov to his apartment for a housewarming party, but no one comes.
He is a quirky alien who doesn't understand our customs, and he never really did anything to stand out from his other roles. Rihanna is just here because they want to appeal to the younger crowd, which would be fine, but they play so much of her music that it almost felt like a ad for her new album. I enjoyed Steve Martin's character as the alien leader Captain Smek, he was just so wacky and dumb that it perfectly fit Martin's humor. Animation was very good, but still one of their more kid friendly animated films like Mr. Peabody and Sherman. I feel like Dreamworks has been declining in quality the past few years, with the exception of the phenomenal How to Train Your Dragon films and I even enjoyed The Croods.
A Tiny Home Christmas (TV Movie – Cast And Crew
It stars Jake McLaughlin, Kathy Bates, Aisling Franciosi, Derek Richardson, James Jordan, Lil Rel Howery and Stephen Root. He has also acted in the films Beauty and the Beast and Northern Lights of Christmas. She has also appeared in the television programmes Unnatural History and Spun Out, in addition to Good Witch, both of which she has done. This is the story of a young woman who is looking for work when all of a sudden she gets hired for a job as an elf during the holiday season. She celebrates Christmas with a coworker, whose secret she uncovers, in a teeny tiny house that’s only big enough for the two of them together. It was later revealed that her co-worker in fact is Santa’s nephew in real life.
It doesn't feel forced or contrived, like you would see in so many of these films. But the fact that the film is sweet does not make up for the fact that it's probably a very generic story and even more generic execution. It's clearly not meant to compete with the Toy Storys or the How to train your Dragons of the world. Not saying that this film was easy to make, because it was anything but easy, but it feels like there wasn't as much effort put into this film as, say, other DreamWorks animated films. This, and other films like the Croods or Turbo, are clearly B-team offerings from DreamWorks.

It was directed by Todd Wilderman, and features a score composed by Lorne Balfe. The short shows the Boov and Captain Smek in a sequence of unsuccessful attempts at finding a hospitable planet, before they finally come across the Earth. The film itself premiered at the Boulder International Film Festival on March 7, 2015. Oh visits grumpy Boov traffic officer Kyle, to invite him to the party. Furious with Oh for revealing their new home to the Gorg, the Boov declare him a fugitive. Oh runs into a convenience store to hide, just as Tip crashes the car and enters the store in search of supplies.
Oppenheimer: Christopher Nolan’s latest gets a trailer
The adult-targeted humour is kept to a minimum and the physical comedy is amped up to levels that is normally irritating but here works an absolute treat. Its success can be attributed, in a big way, to the lovable alien Oh . A clumsy go-getter with endearing optimism, cuddly colour-changing looks, and amusing speech patterns, Oh steals the spotlight whenever he is on screen, which is about 95% of the time.
However, the music is extremely intrusive and takes the audience out of the film. Additionally, the conclusion is a little contrived and overly simplistic. While Home is not without its problems, it's entertaining and delivers plenty of laughs.
Home Alone - Full Cast & Crew
Home is one of Dreamworks Animation much more lazier projects, one that doesn't take any risks and feels like we've seen a thousand times. The story is about an alien and little girl becoming friends during a generic quest, and I really am tired of seeing the same boring road trip bonding movie that goes the exact same way as the rest. They don't like each other, then they do, then they fight, then they reconcile and are friends again. It didn't have the power of the other friendship Dreamworks has created, most notably Hiccup and Toothless. Jim Parsons is a great comedic talent, but his character here is nothing more than an animated version of Sheldon Cooper.
Blair’s grandfather, Jim, is the one who breaks the news to her that the family could have to declare bankruptcy. However, the idea that his granddaughter has to construct a microhome appears to be a ray of hope for the family’s enterprise and their current predicament. Family man Clay Brand has made a good life for himself … but time has estranged him from the big brother he once adored. When a twist of fate brings the two men back together, Clay must decide if their bond is worth saving.
Hindustan Times commented that sometimes too sweets but most times heartwarming, Rojin Thomas brings to life a lovely family drama that is driven by Indrans' effortless performance. The soundtrack for Home Movies was released May 16, 2006 and includes fifty-two songs which were featured throughout the series. The CD comes packaged with the DVD release of the show's fourth season box set. People always talk about the great Disney or Pixar films that come out every year, and if another animated film comes along that doesn't live up to those standards, they disregard it. Sadly, I think that this very underrated animated film will be forgotten about very soon, and it definitely should not be. "Home" tells a very simple story of an alien race that wants to inhabit earth.
This is a movie that certainly means well, it's sweet and it's, honestly, one of the most harmless films you could show your children, if that's what you go for, instead of showing them quality films. But, as the cliche goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Perhaps that's a little strong to say, but this film is really no better than either of the Despicable Me films.
The story follows a misfit alien named Oh who becomes an outcast among his people and teams up with a lost human child, agreeing to help her find her mother who was relocated during the invasion. Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin, and Jennifer Lopez lead the voice cast and give strong performances. And the animation is really good, with some interesting designs for the aliens and their technology. Also, the humor is pretty funny; featuring a lot of fish-out-of-water jokes and word puns.
