A seemingly perfect arrangement, except that one plucky Earthling, interestingly named Gratuity 'Tip' Tucci (Rihanna) chooses to stay back in her home. Tucci has been separated from her mother Lucy (Lopez) who is in Australia and is now hiding away in her old apartment with her cat. Meanwhile Oh, who sends out a housewarming e-invite to the rest of the Boov, mistakenly marks it to everyone - including the Gorgs - and so, he is hunted by his fellow Boov brethren for this mistake. When Oh finds Tucci, they strike up an unlikely friendship and agree to help each other out. What you see is pretty much what you get. The script is fairly literal, sans any contemporary pop-culture asides and the brisk pacing ensures that kids won't be shifting impatiently in their seats during its crisp runtime.There's a tour de force of talented (to say the least) Grammy and Emmy award-winning voices behind the characters and Rihanna, Martin and Parsons are completely on point with their emotiveness. It's only some of the songs that seem to be a mismatch for some sequences at times, and are thus distracting.
It is goofy, fun and has its heart in the right place. Home is meant squarely for kids, but that doesn't mean that accompanying adults will also not find this multi-coloured tale of the importance of friendship and familial bonds, heartwarming.
