Run, don’t walk, to your local movie theater and see Monsters vs. Aliens in 3-D! I had a blast watching this homage to “creature features” of the past. Reese Witherspoon plays Susan, bride-to-be, when she’s hit by a mysterious meteor that turns her into a giant (homage to Attack of the 50-Foot Woman). The U. S. military takes her to a secret base where they keep their other “monsters.” Susan meets Dr. Cockroach (voice by Hugh Laurie) the smartest insect on the planet (homage to The Fly) and the jello-like Bob (The Blob) and The Missing Link (Creature From the Black Lagoon). And, of course, the Earth faces invasion by galactic aliens. Monster time! GRADE: A-
This looks like fun. I wonder if I can persuade my husband…
You and your husband will love MONSTERS VS. ALIENS!
