Aliens in the Attic | comment |
Aliens in the Attic is a basic "kids save the planet from invasion" movie that came out in 2009. The story follows the five Pearson children trying to stop four surprisingly outmatched aliens from taking over the planet. The mind control plugs that are to be the aliens' only weapons don't work on anyone under 18, so they have to defeat an alien invasion without involving their parents or the authorities. | |

Puny Earthlings: Inverted: The aliens are only around two feet tall and only one shows above-human intelligence. This doesn't stop them from referring to the humans as such, though. Played straight when Skip and Tazer use the molecule expander. | |

Laborious Laziness: Tom is accused of this when he gets Cs and Ds in his report but manages to hack the school computer system to give himself As and Bs; as his father points out, if he's smart enough to hack the system he's smart enough to get the good grades in the first place. This is justified as Tom was deliberately "dumbing down" to try and fit in with the other kids. | |

Aliens in the Attic / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: At one point the aliens watch The Mask of Zorro on a TV in the attic. The anti-gravity "bomb" is compared to Halo. A toy of Slinky Dog can be seen on a shelf. Hannah owns a Powerpuff Girls backpack that Sparks hides in. | |

Competence Zone | |
Aliens in the Attic / int_d13c403a | comment |
Competence Zone: The alien Mind-Control Device only works on adults (with an arbitrary cut-off apparently around 18), so it's not even worth telling them anything. | |

Mind-Control Device | |
Aliens in the Attic / int_e22feb9c | comment |
Mind-Control Device: Pretty much the only weapon the aliens have. And it uses a video game controller! | |

Aliens in the Attic / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Ricky is a Jerkass college student who dates a teenage girl four years younger than him, lies to her parents about his age, bullies her brother, and breaks up with her for petty reasons. Needless to say, his Butt-Monkey status is entirely deserved. | |

Suspiciously Specific Denial | |
Aliens in the Attic / int_e624f0e8 | comment |
Suspiciously Specific Denial: Hannah often gives these, such as insisting that the contents of a metal box are "definitely not an alien", but justified as she's only six. | |

Groin Attack | |
Aliens in the Attic / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Ricky suffers three of these, the last of which he was forced to inflict upon himself. In the climax, when the kids use the aliens’ mind-control device to make Commander Skip fight Tazer, they defeat Tazer by making Skip kick him in the crotch. | |

Swallow the Key: Skip makes a mind-controlled Ricky do this for good measure after locking the basement door to keep the Pearson kids from interfering in their plans. | |
