Yesterday we headed out and caught the latest masterpiece from Dreamworks Pictures, Monsters vs. Aliens. Once again Dreamworks delivered with an all star cast to do the voices for the characters including Reese Witherspoon (Legally Blonde, Cruel Intetions, Sweet Home Alabama), Hugh Laurie (House), and Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Superbad).
The story is that of a motley crue of hero-esque monsters who were captured by the U.S. Government and held captive from the world, you know an Area 51 type conspiracy thing. An evil alien squid comes to Earth with the intent on capturing and extracting a valuable energy source to power his ship and begin the process of creating his own race and planet. This is where the Governments cache of monsters comes in and the adventure and laughs ensue.
The story was a lot of fun, I mean what kid (or kid trapped in an adult body) does not love the idea of MONSTERS kicking ass and fucking up aliens while making you laugh at the same time? If you don’t like that sort of thing, you just plain suck 
. The story was not really original IMO, it seems like I had seen this sort of movie several times in different reincarnations, but being that it was animated with such a cast, that really brought it to life.
The cast really made these characters soemthing great, their facial expressions mimicked the actor who did the voice and it really adds that much more to the fun aspect of the movie. All of characters are hilarious in this and once again Seth Rogen shines as he always does as Bob, the blob. This movie was packed with funny one liners and some good old adult humor you can expect from Dreamworks. I laughed my ass off, and everything about this flick was fun. You should go see it. NOW!
