Trivia
When the kids are interrogating Sparks they ask him what his weakness is and one of the twins says "Water? Earth germs?". These are references to two well known alien related films; in Signs the alien's weakness is water and in War of the Worlds their weakness is the common cold.

Goofs
At the end of the fight between Ricky and Nana (at around 1h 02 mins), the control plug is knocked out of Ricky's neck, but at the end of the film, immediately after "The End" appears (at around 1h 19 mins), he is shown at Annie Filkins' house where Bethany and Tom use a controller to control him again.

The kids kept the gun from the aliens and Tom mentioned to Bethany that Ricky's car was broken down and he's not going anywhere. It's likely Tom and Bethany shot Ricky with the gun again and used controls.

Quotes
Hannah Pearson: Dad's coming and he's mad.
Tom Pearson: With who?
Hannah Pearson, Stuart Pearson: Tom!

Good movie

I am a mom with four children. My one-year-old didn't go with us, but my five-year-old, ten-year-old, and twelve-year-old went with me to see this movie. I must say it was refreshing to see a children's movie that was actually suitable for children to watch. We thought certain scenes were very cute and funny, there was no foul language, and my children enjoyed this film. It is sad that so many other movies get attention when this one is entertaining and clean. I would recommend it and think it is better than a lot of other summer films we have seen. On a scale of one to ten, I would probably give it a seven. That is an honest evaluation based on action, entertainment, humor, and story line. Overall, not a bad movie at all.
