Pretty fun!

Rating: 7/10 (2 March 2020)

It's Susan Murphy's (Reese Witherspoon) wedding day to fiancé Derek (Paul Rudd) which is disrupted by her being struck by a meteorite! She then grows incredibly tall and is given the name Ginormoca, joining a team of monsters who are enlisted by the government to defeat an alien mastermind (Rainn Wilson) that is planning to take over the world. From co-directors Rob Letterman (Shark Tale, Goosebumps) and Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2, Madagascar 3) it's naturally lovely looking animation as can be expected from Dreamworks and there's a lot of fun had in the sci-fi movie aesthetic that they go for. I think what makes the film tick is the dialogue and the star-studded talent that provide the voices; from Seth Rogen as B.O.B, Hugh Laurie as Dr Cockroach PhD, Will Arnett as Link, Kiefer Sutherland as the army general and more! It's pretty hard to dislike and although it's not amazing, its a pretty decent family film and it's heart is in the right place; I did chuckle on a good few occasions!
