splashes of "Twilight Zone" to provide an amicable, but not terribly original, film.....The problem with "Planet 51" isn't....Pre-pubescent kids will probably enjoy "Planet 51" and their parents will have enough chuckles to bide the time.....As for the birds and the bees, I'm glad the film doesn't delve into anything more than a kiss here and there.... ...

In "Planet 51," though, it's overdone and recycled.....Instead of the precise, tight jokes....Animated 'Planet 51' unbalanced, predictable....Dwayne Johnson was an odd casting choice for Capt. Baker.... ... Full Review
