When Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a “Monster” named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured by General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) and held in a secret government compound filled with other “monsters” like herself. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach P.H.D. (Hugh Laurie); the macho half-ape-half-fish The Missing Link (Will Arnett); the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B. (Seth Rogen); and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to save the world from imminent destruction.
B.O.B.’S BIG BREAK B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) and his monstrous crew are on a mission to bust out of Area 52, the government’s top-secret holding cell. Led by mad-scientist Dr. Cockroach P.H.D. (Hugh Laurie) and macho amphibian The Missing Link (Will Arnett), the trio outwits grizzled General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) to make a triumphant escape…almost.

Fun movie for the kids 2009-12-16 - This is a fun movie for the kids. I would recommend the Bluray version if you can view it in high def. Much better.
Monsters vs Aliens DVD 2009-12-15 - My children loved the movie now will love being able to enjoy it at home.
My son likes it. 2009-12-13 - Monsters vs Aliens is fun, itself. I enjoyed watching it, and my son enjoys watching it. Bob's Big Break was very cute and we'll watch it again, no problem. My only complaint is the user interface on the Bob's Big Break DVD, it's very clunky. We haven't watched it in 3D yet, because I'm the only one in the house with proper stereo vision without colorblindness. Having the option to not have it in 3D is very nice.
Monsters vx. Aliens Blu-ray 2009-12-10 - Great entertainment for grandchildren. My wife and I like it to. Amazon is the only place to buy videos.
