Home By DreamWorks

(Movie Review by Aedan Roach)

I watched an animated movie called Home by the company DreamWorks. It is a family oriented movie. The main characters were Tucci, nicknamed Tip, whose voice was played by Rihanna, Oh, who’s voice was played by Jim parsons, and Lucy, Tip’s mom, who’s voice was provided by Jennifer Lopez. In the beginning of the movie, Oh and his species, the Boov, were running away from their enemy, the Gorg. They landed themselves on the planet Earth and decided to make it their new home planet. When they arrived on Earth, they relocated all the humans to Australia except for a fourteen-year-old girl, Tip. Tip and Oh soon met in a convenient store. He was hiding from his fellow Boov because he had made a horrible mistake. He accidentally sent an email to the Gorg with the exact coordinates of where the Boov species were located.  After meeting up with Tip, Oh convinced Tip to help him escape and stop the email with the promise to help her find her mom Lucy.  The story revolved around Oh, Tip, and Tip’s cat’s adventures in the slushy car, built by Oh, to save both Tip’s mom and the Boov from the Gorg. This movie was based around Christmas time, which usually provides an uplifting storyline. Since the characters were animated, they provided the audience with laughter and good spirit. The movie was well edited. The music used was appropriate and followed the mood of the characters. The special effects in this movie were good and kept the audience’s attention. Overall, I would say Home is a fun movie to watch as a family, especially those with younger children.
