I saw "Home", starring the voices of Jim Parsons-The Big Bang Theory_tv, Garden State, he was born in Houston, Tx; Rihanna-Annie_2014, Battleship; Steve Martin-The Pink Panther_2006, The Jerk, he was born in Waco, Tx and Jennifer Lopez-The Boy Next Door, In Living Color_tv.

This animated movie is based on a book by Adam Rex called 'The True Meaning of Smekday'. It seems that there are 2 alien races that have been in a conflict with each other for quite some time, now; The Boov, a marshmallow looking friendly race of cowards that run at the hint of danger and the Gorg, a big scary looking race that want something that the Boov stole from them. Jim plays a Boov named 'Oh'-whenever other Boov see him coming, they usually say, 'Oh' in disgust. When the Boov make it to Earth-while trying to outrun the Gorg-they settle in and put humans in little concentration camps. Rihanna plays a 12 year old girl that gets separated from her mother, Jennifer, and meets Jim, who becomes her friend. Steve plays the captain of the Boov. There are lessons to be learned by Jim about humans, with being different and making mistakes on the top of the list. The Boov also change colors a lot, depending on their moods. Rihanna and Jennifer do perform songs in the soundtrack-more from Rihanna than Jennifer. I think the little kiddies should enjoy it. It's rated "PG" for some mild action and rude humor and has a running time of 1 hour & 34 minutes. It was enjoyable enough that I would probably buy it on DVD.
