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.

Monsters vs. Aliens [Blu-ray] Reviews: 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.
monster vs aliens 2009-12-09 - Great movie. Quality of the pictures is wonderful, storyline is very good the only negative thing that I can say about this movie is on the bonus 3D features. When I used the provided 3D glasses the colors does not look good, matter of fact is that it also created alot of ghosting moving images and blurry moving scenes. Other then that everything else are absolutely well beyond my expectations.
Fun for the whole family 2009-12-06 - This is a terrific family flick for all ages. Cute and unusual plot. I recomend it for the family library.
