HOME [2015]

Director Tim Johnson's CGI animated kiddie-comedy, Home, doesn't even attempt to break any new ground but it's so damned lovably cute I really didn't mind it at all.
It's the familiar tale of a friendship that bonds between a teenage girl and an alien, both of whom are looking for a home for their heart and find it through colorful silliness, wacky hijinks and a plethora of family-friendly pop tunes.  Adults will get the most joy watching the kid's faces light up for the entire duration of the film and move on without giving it a second thought.  It follows the tired CGI animated formula like clockwork but has just enough flair and postitivity to make it a worthwhile waste of time.
