Monster hit...uh...alien hit!

Rating: 7/10 (4 October 2009)

Dreamworks presents a winner. Outstanding animation with an all-star cast. Total family oriented with just a tiny bit of obligatory potty humor. An unsuspecting and unlikely Susan Murphey(voiced by Reese Witherspoon)has a more than strange wedding day. Before the nuptials she is hit by a meteor turning her into a 49-foot tall hero...superhero. Her husband-to-be Derek Diei(Paul Rudd), a major TV anchor wannabe, is left at the alter. Susan is snatched up General Monger(Keifer Sutherland) and taken to a top secret military installation making bizarre monsters to be used as weapons. When an alien force comes to invade earth, Susan, now called Ginormica, and a rag-tag team of monsters take on pesky extraterrestrials , who want to find sustenance for their dying planet.
A pleasant soundtrack featuring the likes of: The Little River Band, the B-52's, The Exciters and Journey works as adhesive for this exciting adventure. Other voices you may or may not recognize: Hugh Laurie, Renee Zellweger, Stephen Colbert, Jeffrey Tambor, Will Arnett, Seth Rogen and Rainn Wilson. Go ahead and watch; you'll like it.
