Susan, B.O.B., The Missing Link, and Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D., are back as special operatives dispatched to investigate a mysterious alien presence on Halloween. As the night unravels the innocent-looking pumpkins are revealed for what they really are mutant aliens! Luckily the monsters are there to smash the mutants’ wicked scheme to take over Earth.

Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space is short, smart, and entertaining. While physical humor and an easy-to-follow plot line will keep kids laughing, timely quotes from iconic movies like Apocalypse Now and Scarface will keep adult viewers smiling. This Halloween flick opens in Modesto, California, where evil aliens have turned all of the town’s pumpkins into mutant, candy-craving jack-o’-lanterns who want to destroy the world. Susan (Reese Witherspoon), B.O.B. (Seth Rogen), the Missing Link (Will Arnett), and Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie), are dispatched by the US government to save the town from the evil alien scheme and crush the mutant pumpkins before it’s too late. With an all-star cast, this movie stays true to the form and the styling of the original Monsters vs. Aliens movie and is sure to be a family favorite. –Alex Westrom
