Please don’t take your kids to see MVA, it is terrible! I normally love Dreamworks Animation but this film is no where near as good as Madagascar or Shrek. The animation looks amateur, the plot line is as predictable as the seasons and the jokes so bad even your kids will be guessing the punchlines. Give MVA a MISS!

However, don’t just take my word for it, read some select reviews

The first 30 minutes of this were truly excruciatingly painful to watch. I’m not sure how bad sight gags and poor character animation still gets through the system there at DreamWorks

There are times in the movie where you know that they are going completely random to try and get some laughs, but fail pretty badly.

Besides comedy, the story itself is pretty predictable. From the moment you meet the monsters you know what the moral of the story, and you know pretty much how the whole film will play out.

Showy but super-average… Monsters vs. Aliens sacrifices soul and edge for safety and bland blue goo.
