Aliens in the Attic (PG)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A pleasant, inconsequential movie about resourceful kids fighting off an alien invasion in suburban Michigan.
Carter Jenkins plays Tom, the troubled brainy kid who's allowed his grades to slide and now has to go on vacation with the extended family. While he's trying to fix the TV aerial on the roof, he finds that it's become the landing pad for a quartet of blobby green extraterrestrials. It has its moments, oddly, including a chop-socky fight between an old granny and Tom's sister's boyfriend, and one nice riff on technology: in the attic, the kids find an old telephone with a finger-dial setting, and their looks of bafflement seem to render the artefact far more outlandish than any little green man carrying a raygun.
