A very funny movie, and not just made for kids. Great cast with Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Kiefer Sutherland, Raiin Wilson, and Will Arnett. The plot is pretty thin, with just a group of maladjusted "monsters" that end up taking on an overly calm and confused alien dictator named Gallaxhar. He is looking to secure some type of odd element which will give him the ultimate power to take over the universe. Aren't we all searching for that?
Regardless, Witherspoon is awesome as the monster "Susan", or as they refer to her in the movie, "Gianormica". She brings a cute and funny normalcy to the role, while the rest of the monsters are all equally funny. The best part about the movie is the average nature of the monsters and how they're put into these odd and stressful situations. Especially when Susan's parents host a pool party for her monster friends.
All in all, it's a simple but well intended movie that's just fun to watch. Don't get all excited to see it, because remember it's just for kids. That's probably why I enjoyed this movie so much.
