I laughed so hard at certain parts of this movie. This one had so many more adult jokes than any other "children's" movie that I've seen. Most of them hilarious.Susan (Reese Witherspoon) is about to marry her dream man in a storybook wedding in a hillside church. Out of nowhere, she is hit by a meteor. Once inside the church for the ceremony, Susan begins to glow and enlarge, a clear result of radiation. Soon thereafter, the government comes and takes her away. When she awakens in a holding cell, she meets other monsters BOB, Dr. Cockroach and the Missing Link (Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie and Will Arnett). When an alien craft comes to retrieve the radiation from the meteor that struck Susan, the feds release the monsters to help fight the aliens. Bouts of both humor and full-fledged action commence.
Despite a simple, sometimes dull story line, the huge amount of outstanding voice talent more than made up for it. Aside from those mentioned before, the cast includes: Rainn Wilson, Paul Rudd, John Krasinski, Ed Helms, Renee Zellweger, Amy Poehler, Kiefer Sutherland, Jeffrey Tambor and, what was the best of them all, Stephen Colbert as the President. Anything he said made me laugh.
