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)
