Home is a 2015 American computer-animated science fiction comedy film[4][5] produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Loosely based on Adam Rex's 2007 children's book The True Meaning of Smekday, the film was directed by Tim Johnson, from a screenplay by Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember, and stars the voices of Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin, Jennifer Lopez, and Matt Jones. The story takes place on near-future planet Earth, where an alien race called Boov are invading the planet and capturing the humans. However, a feisty human girl named Gratuity "Tip" Tucci and her fat cat named "Pig" manage to avoid capture, and goes on the run with Oh, a fugitive Boov and together, the three form an unlikely friendship while searching for Tip's mother and avoiding being captured by the Boov.

The film premiered at the Boulder International Film Festival on March 7, 2015, and was released in theaters on March 27, 2015.[6] Home was promoted with the release of a four-minute short film titled Almost Home, which was shown in theaters before DreamWorks Animation's Mr. Peabody & Sherman and Blue Sky Studios' Rio 2 in 2014. Rihanna created a concept album of the same name. The soundtrack also includes guest vocals from Jennifer Lopez, among others, and was supported by two singles, "Towards the Sun" and "Feel the Light". Home received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $386 million worldwide.

A Netflix original series was released on July 29, 2016, that takes place after the events of the film. It uses hand-drawn animation and none of the original cast (except Jones) reprised their roles.

Plot[]

A cowardly alien race known as the Boov finds near-future Earth a suitable place to call "home". Led by Captain Smek (Steve Martin), they commence their "friendly" invasion of the planet, relocating the humans, whom the Boov deem as simple and backwards, to remote parts of the planet while the Boov inhabit their homes in a quick and bloodless conquest. One of the Boov, named Oh (Jim Parsons), is a more excitable, freethinking member of the species, who decides to invite the Boov to his apartment for a housewarming party, despite the race's antipathy towards him. Not far from Oh is a 14-year-old[7] girl named Gratuity "Tip" Tucci (Rihanna), who drives away through her home city to find her mother Lucy Tucci (Jennifer Lopez) after being separated from her during the invasion, leaving her with only her Japanese Bobtail, Pig and fueling her with hatred for the Boov.

Oh runs into the street to meet up with a grumpy Boov cop named Kyle (Matt Jones), who, like the rest of the Boov, doesn't want to befriend him. Oh invites him to the party and mistakenly sends a mass invitation to every Boov on Earth. However, the "send all" button he pressed actually sends the invitation to every alien race in the entire galaxy, including the Boov's enemy, the so-called planet-destroying Gorg (Brian Stepanek), whom the Boov have been running from since a failed peace treaty between the Gorg and Captain Smek resulted in Smek running away with “The Shusher” (a possession of the Gorg's), which is used as a means to showcase leadership amongst the Boov. Everyone, aggravated with Oh for compromising their new home to their enemy, starts chasing him down. Oh runs into a convenience store to hide just as Tip and Pig enter the same store to grab supplies with their car being broken. They come across each other in a hostile manner. She locks Oh in a freezer and he suggest that he will fix her car if she lets him out. Oh transforms it into a fantastical, hovering craft named Slushious to continue transportation. Oh hitches a ride with Tip when he promises to help her find Lucy, but unfortunately, they must go to the Boov Command Center in Paris and locate her from there. However, Oh secretly plans on abandoning Tip to take himself to Antarctica, the only place on Earth un-infested with Boov, although he fails in doing so after Kyle attempts to gain his personal password so the Boov can hack into Oh's account and cancel the invite.

They reach Paris and it is crawling with Boovs. They make it to the Book Command Centre and cancel the invite. Everyone starts to celebrate the victory. They both stay back to search for Tip's mom. They find that she is currently in Australia where the latter herself is trying her best to find Tip. While coming out they are cornered by Captain Smeck and many more Books at the Great Antenna aka Eiffel Tower. Just when Oh is about to be erased, Tip messes with what she calls "Gravity Thingy" to turn the Eiffel Tower upside down and they manage to escape. Oh confides in her that he does not wish to erased and she tells him that no one is perfect. Oh realises his mistakes and tries to make it right by confessing that he is sorry for everything and that Captain Smeck, in his words, "is the wrongest". With this he earns her trust and she finally let's him drive her car.

On their way to Australia, they both talk to each other about their problems, make jokes about Captain Smeck, tell stories, click selfies. It's shown that Oh is starting to fall for her. In the morning, they both wake up and see that they are surrounded by Boovs, but they are not attacking. Oh comes to a conclusion that Gorg has reached Earth even though they cancelled the invite. One small Gorg ship attacks Slushious and it losses all fuel causing them to crash. They find a driverless Gong ship crashed nearby. Oh looks in it to find something to fix Slushious and find a Gorg super chip that apparently is way more advanced than Boot chip which helps Slushious to run more faster.

When they both reach Australia, it's shown that all the books are running away. Oh hears a few Books saying that only one more ship is left to take the Boovs home. He rushes towards it with Tip. She finds that he is just trying to run away without fulfilling his promise. She runs in the opposite direction and Oh runs towards his ship. Tip is very angry, but she rushes to find her mom.

Bacon the Book ship, there is breach situation. The small Gorg ships are attacking the Boot ship from outside. And everyone is in a panic situation when they see Gorg-mothership coming straight for them. Oh, still having the super chip, attaches it into the Boov ship which runs very quickly leaving the Gorg-mothership behind. Captain Smeck angry asks Oh what he did. Oh tells all the Boovs the story of how he found the super ship. Everyone starts to think that Oh is a Super-Boov and Kyle takes the Shutter away from Smeck and gives it to Oh indicating that he is the new Captain. Oh misses Tip too much, so much so that he cries and realises that he loves her.

Tip and Oh make it to Australia and see the Boov evacuating to their mothership. When they land the car, Tip immediately starts looking for her mother, but Oh insists on him and Tip evacuating with the other Boov instead. Angered at Oh for attempting to break his promise again, Tip declares that he wasn't truly her friend in the first place and abandons a depressed Oh, who retreats to the ship. The Gorg mothership comes close to the Boov ship, but Oh pulls out the Gorg chip and uses it to fly the ship further away from the Gorg. The Boov become astonished at Oh's bravery, but Smek becomes upset and reminds everyone that he is the captain. However, Oh stands up to Smek, telling him that he's a terrible captain, and tells the Boov about what he learned from Tip about humans caring for other people while the Boov do not. Saddened by this revelation at first, the Boov then mutiny against Smek and Kyle grabs Smek's "Shusher", handing it over to Oh and declares him their new captain, although Oh is ultimately depressed and unsatisfied that he left Tip behind on Earth.

Tip rushes aimlessly around the city to find Lucy but in vain. She fruitlessly tries to show everyone the picture of Lucy on her phone, but no one can help her before the phone's battery dies and Tip is now tearful, so she gives up and sits in the empty Ask A Boov booth and bursts in tears. Oh returns to her side and helps her track down Lucy. The mother and daughter finally reunite and thank Oh. Suddenly, the Gorg mothership descends upon the planet, and Oh realizes that they want the rock on the Shusher. Oh runs to the ship to try to attract its attention, locking Tip and Lucy in the car and sending them high up in the sky for safety. Tip breaks out of the car and shines a light in the Gorg Commander's face to bring his attention to Oh as he holds the rock up. The Gorg Commander halts the ship as it crunches down on the ground, with Oh directly in its path. Tip rushes to rescue him, but Oh is seemingly crushed beneath the ship until it backs up and reveals him uninjured.

The Gorg Commander emerges from his armor to show that he is actually a harmless starfish-like creature. Oh returns the rock to him and has a conversation with him in an alien language. He thanks Oh and departs. Tip and Lucy confused ask him about what happened. Oh reveals that Gorg was not here because of his invitation to his housewarming, which Gorg would have been happy to attend. Gorg was here because of the rock which turns out to be an egg for millions of developing Gorg larvae, the next generation of Gorg, revealing that the Gorg Commander/"Father" had been the last of his kind, alone and almost extinct, hence why he pursued the Boov so fervently.

Two weeks later, the humans have returned to their original homes with Boovs and Humans living together. Oh finally gets to have his party at Tip's apartment (it indicates that Lucy, Tip, Oh and Pig are living together) with both humans and Boov in attendance. Tip plays her music and gets the rest of the Boov to experience dancing for the first time, while other Boov, including a reformed Smek, party on the moon, and several ships from other planets, including the Gorg and his babies, head to Earth for Oh's party upon receiving his invitation.

In the end credits, picture of Tip and Oh are shown of them having fun living together.

Voice cast[]

Additionally, April Lawrence and Nigel W. Tierney voice Boov Announcer and Child A respectively.

Production[]

United States president Barack Obama visited DreamWorks Animation in November 2013, where he met with Steve Martin and Jim Parsons, who were recording lines for the film.[12]

In 2008, DreamWorks Animation optioned the book's rights to adapt it into an animated feature film. On his blog, Adam Rex announced that DreamWorks renewed the option of the adaptation in 2011.[13][14] On June 20, 2012, it was revealed that the title of the film would be Happy Smekday!, Jim Parsons and Rihanna would star in the lead roles, and the film would be released in the fourth quarter of 2014.[9] In September 2012, 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks Animation announced a release date of November 26, 2014.[6] In June 2013, the film was retitled from Happy Smekday! to Home.[15]

On October 3, 2013, it was announced that Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez had joined the cast.[8] On May 20, 2014, the film's release date was pushed back to March 27, 2015, switching places with DreamWorks Animation's film Penguins of Madagascar.[16] Jeffrey Katzenberg, DreamWorks Animation's CEO, reasoned that Penguins, coming from one of DWA's most successful franchises, would more easily stand out during Thanksgiving time, while Home would try to take advantage of the less competitive spring release window, and repeat successful spring launches of some of DWA's original films, including The Croods and How to Train Your Dragon.[17]

Soundtrack[]

Main article: Home (soundtrack)

In addition to her voice role, Rihanna created a concept album for the film (also titled Home) which was released on March 24, 2015.[18][19] It consists of 8 original songs.[20] The soundtrack's lead single, Rihanna's "Towards the Sun", premiered on BBC Radio 1 on February 24, 2015,[21] and was made available for digital download the same day, via the iTunes Store.[22] The second single, "Feel the Light", recorded by Jennifer Lopez, was released on February 25, 2015, via the iTunes Store.[23]

Release[]

A 4-minute short film called Almost Home was attached to theatrical showings of DreamWorks Animation's Mr. Peabody & Sherman in early 2014[24] and Blue Sky Studios' Rio 2 that same year.[25] It was directed by Todd Wilderman,[24] and features a score composed by Lorne Balfe.[26] The short shows the Boov and Captain Smek in a sequence of unsuccessful attempts at finding a hospitable planet, before they finally come across the Earth.[27] The film itself premiered at the Boulder International Film Festival on March 7, 2015.[28]

Home media[]

Home was released digitally on June 26, 2015,[29][30] and was released on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D on July 28, 2015.[31] In the United Kingdom, Home went to number one on the Official Video Chart in its first week of sale.[32]

Reception[]

Box office[]

Home grossed $177.4 million in North America and has grossed $208.6 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $386 million.[3] Its production cost was $135 million, with a similar sum spent for prints and advertising (P&A).[33] Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $29.12 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film.[34]

Home opened in the U.S. and Canada simultaneously with the comedy Get Hard on March 27, 2015. Though the latter earned higher in its Thursday late-night run, estimates were showing that Home was heading to No. 1 in its opening weekend.[35][36][37][38][39] It scored one of the biggest opening days for a DreamWorks Animation non-sequel ever with $15.6 million, behind Kung Fu Panda ($20 million) and Monsters vs. Aliens ($16.75 million).[40][41] Home debuted at the top of the box office, with $52.1 million, which exceeded predictions of a $30 million to $35 million opening and was also DreamWorks Animation's best opening since the $60.3 million debut of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted.[42][43]

Outside North America, Home was released in 10 countries on March 20, 2015, a week ahead of its U.S. premiere. It earned $20.1 million, coming in third place at the international box office behind Cinderella and The Divergent Series: Insurgent.[44] The following weekend, it expanded to 55 additional countries and grossed a total of $24 million from 11,250 screens in 64 countries.[45] Its largest openings occurred in the UK, Ireland and Malta ($9.12 million), Russia ($5.17 million),[44] Mexico ($3 million),[45] Brazil ($2.3 million),[46] Australia ($2.42 million), and Spain ($2.24 million).[44]

Critical response[]

Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 52% based on reviews from 139 critics, with an average rating of 5.50/10. The website's consensus reads, "Colorful, silly, and utterly benign, Home is a passable diversion, but there's no shortage of superior animated alternatives."[47] On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating, the film has a score of 55 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[48] In CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend, cinema audiences gave Home an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[49]

Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter said, "There may be no place like home, but there are a lot of places like Home, an animated adventure about the unlikely friendship between a lonely girl and an alien misfit that can't help but feel familiar."[50] James Rocchi of The Wrap gave the film a positive review, saying "As animated sci-fi for small fry, it's a success whose modest but well-executed ambitions are no small part of its charm."[51] Stephen Whitty gave the film two out of five stars, saying "The Gummi-colored animation is imaginative, but director Tim Johnson's ho-hum 3D cartoon remains strictly 1D."[52] Rafer Guzman of Newsday gave the film two out of four stars, saying "The film moves quickly and keeps the jokes coming, which only means that Home would rather keep young viewers occupied than give them something to think about."[53] Ben Sachs of the Chicago Reader gave the film a negative review, saying "Aggressive and cynical approach to children's entertainment, pummeling viewers with mechanical-looking action sequences (which suggest video game demos), unfunny one-liners, and overly loud pop songs and sound effects."[54] Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film two out of five stars, saying "Key characters are admirably diverse, but the fast-paced tale is thoroughly predictable."[55]

Soren Anderson of The Seattle Times gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "It works moderately well thanks largely to the voice talents of Jim Parsons and, to a lesser extent, Steve Martin. Two droll dudes who put a fair share of funny into this animated picture."[56] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times called the film "A charming concoction with positive messages for younger children about conquering fears, understanding outsiders and knowing yourself."[57] Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review, saying "Tension is one of Home's biggest issues. There just isn't nearly enough of it. Story is another. Even a kids' movie needs more complexity and more invention."[58] Linda Barnard of the Toronto Star gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "Aside from Parsons' initially amusingly mangled Yoda-like English, which gets a tad repetitive, Home doesn't stand out as fresh or particularly funny."[59] Dana Rose Falcone of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A−, saying "The combination of Home's layered message, fun score, and clever comedy make it a colorful choice for moviegoers of any age."[60] Stephanie Zacharek of The Village Voice gave the film a mixed review, saying "If director Tim Johnson -- adapting Adam Rex's book The True Meaning of Smekday -- can't do much with the story's confused, if well-intentioned, agenda, at least he's got some charming, vivid characters to work with."[61] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a C, saying "Anyone over 10 will see the plot twists a mile away. Kids will probably enjoy the goofy Boovs, the rainbows of colors and the music. Call me a traditionalist, but I still say the world was a better place before those darn Boovs invaded."[62]

Peter Debruge of Variety gave the film a negative review, saying "From a creative standpoint, this is the studio's least exciting feature yet - hardly its worst, execution-wise, but entirely lacking in the risk-taking spirit that has spawned such successful franchises as Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and Dragon."[63] Sara Stewart of the New York Post gave the film two out of five stars, saying "It's refreshing to see a nonwhite lead, and the husky-voiced pop singer is likable as a brave-hearted kid searching for her mother. But man, is there a lot of Rihanna in this movie: She also provides what seems like the entirety of the film's soundtrack, making it feel like a vanity project (is 'vanimation' a thing?)."[64] Barbara VanDenburgh of The Arizona Republic gave the film two out of five stars, saying "For all its energy, razzle-dazzle and whiz-bang technology, it doesn't know how to tell a simple story or cobble together three-dimensional characters, and that's a problem not even the best of 3-D glasses can fix."[65] Susan Wloszczyna of RogerEbert.com gave the film two out of four stars, saying "I kept thinking about Lilo & Stitch while watching Home, a decidedly disappointing effort based on the popular kid-lit book The True Meaning of Smekday from the already embattled folks at DreamWorks Animation."[66]
