 "...drags on way too long, but there are things to like. One is the general inefficiency of the aliens' ships and weapons... The aliens themselves are also interesting..." |

 "It's a mishmash of mediocrity. The performances are somewhat better than the material, especially those of Elizabeth Banks, Anna Kendrick and Jennifer Lopez." |

 "Goldthwait gets in some satisfying digs at reality television, right-wing media and our obsession with celebrity... But it's a little too obvious..." |

 "...a movie as odd as its title... There's not a lot to it, but what's here is really enjoyable, if at times as awkward as high school." |

 "...like the coming together of a supergroup of classic rockers that never manages to live up to the individual work. Parts of it are catchy, but it doesn't quite rock." |

 "Wars are full of stories of nearly unbelievable friendships and sacrifices, and you get the feeling somewhere beneath all the hubbub there is one here. Good luck finding it." |

 "...the real hero here is Joss Whedon, who directs the film with a fanboy's enthusiasm and a thorough knowledge of the genre.... truly super." |

 "Weisz is fantastic, commanding the screen, even when vulnerable. Yet so are Hiddleston and Beale, each infusing his character with a confidence not supported by his situation." |

 "It's a shame these wealthy people lost their dog, it's a shame they can't find it, it's a shame Kasdan thinks we want to spend nearly two hours listening to them complain about it." |
