Delivers a few pleasant surprises, including a smart story -- a reverse-E.T. riff that plops an American astronaut down in a world of just-like-us-only-green creatures -- and clever characters.

Although not bowling me over, Planet 51 is a jolly and good-looking animated feature in glorious 2-D.

A perky though not terribly imaginative feature aimed primarily at youngsters.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
This movie, which was made by an animation studio in Spain, isn't trying to make a social statement; it speaks in the international language of lightweight comedy.

What's missing is originality and story and inventiveness.
