Monstrous amounts of laughs in Monsters Vs. Aliens

By Mike Fauls

The new comedy Monsters Vs. Aliens is pretty good with a well-cast crew; Reese Witherspoon is Susan (aka Ginormica), Seth Rogen is B.O.B., Hugh Laurie is Dr. Cockroach Ph.D., and Will Arnett is The Missing Link. It starts out with a meteor coming to hit Earth; the story then starts to focus on the main character, Susan (Witherspoon), who is about to get married. The meteor falls on her and transforms her into “Ginormica” and she is taken to a military base and kept there until an alien named Galaxar shoots out an alien robot and it starts wreaking havoc on the townsfolk. I don’t want to ruin the movie for you guys so I’ll stop talking. The movie is a little predictable but the 3-D function doesn’t ruin it for those who don’t go and see it in 3-D and Seth Rogen is definitely a comedic genius when it comes to playing his character B.O.B. I give this movie 4.5 stars out of 5.
