score 7/10
The Boov are a race of annoying idiot aliens who spend their time fleeing enemies: they are "hiding" in plain view on Earth, having taken over the cities following relocating all the humans in Australia, except teenage girl Tip. Oh is an even more annoying and idiotic Boov, to the extent that he is ostracised by his own people. He and Tip are thrown together and form an initially reluctant partnership to help each other: Tip is looking for her mother and Oh is trying to recall the cosmic email party invitation he sent which will let their enemy know where the Boov are hiding.
This CGI animated movie is full of colour, action and humour, and colour is particularly well used. The two central characters, Oh and Tip, are nicely designed and well realised. The voice talent is good - Rihanna does well as Tip - and if I were to be critical, I would say that the individuality of Jim Parsons' voice does rather overpower Oh's personality at times.
But this is good fun, especially for youngsters (who, after all, are the intended audience).
