Space Invaders
A family tries to rid their summer home of cosmic visitors in Aliens in the Attic
By Marni Weisz
The Pearson family is on vacation. They’ve rented a nice house, it even has a pool, and they’re just going to relax.
Too bad some little green aliens from the planet Zirkon have different ideas. There’s Skip, the gruff Zirkonian who’s clearly in charge; Assassin, the muscle of the group; Razor, the female Zirkonian with brains to match her brawn; and little Sparks, a friendly but clumsy alien who’s good with gadgets.
The Zirkonians want to take over the house and the Pearsons using their mind-control machines. But fortunately for the Pearsons, one of the aliens just might be on their side. Can you guess which one? Yup, it’s friendly little Sparks. Hannah Pearson is the first to discover Sparks when he surprises her in her own bedroom. At first she’s shocked and scared, but she and her siblings quickly realize they shouldn’t be afraid of Sparks and that he may be able to help them fend off the other Zirkonians.
Look for High School Musical’s Ashley Tisdale as one of the older Pearson kids. It’s the first movie she’s made since HSM3: Senior Year.
