  • Quotes

    • "Wow, this would be great if we could go back and do all the old 1950s monster movies, 'cause that's when monsters made you laugh.To actually have, you know, horrific monsters, but give them personalities and kind of satirize them at the same time."—Conrad VernonWired: First Look: 3-D Monsters vs. Aliens (November 7, 2008)

  • Review Quotes

    • "Monsters vs. Aliens cheerfully converts the two major sources of cinematic terror, invaders from outer space and inhuman, ungodly terrestrial creatures, into wacky, goofy, familiar figures...Everyone goes whirling through the air, fires off some wisecracks and generally has a good time. You probably will too, even if you feel a little cheated in the end."—NY TimesNY Times: 3-D Fun (March 27, 2009)
    • "With its mix of sweetness and light satire, Monsters vs. Alien is a playful fantasy augmented by spirited action and a delightfully cheeky attitude."—USA TodayUSA Today: Witty Monsters vs. Aliens Dazzles in 3-D (March 27, 2009)
