Cert PG
Family/Sci-Fi/Action/Comedy
A green, glowing meteorite lands on Susan Murphy (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) on her wedding day, shortly before she is due to tie the knot to self-obsessed TV weatherman Derek Dietl (Paul Rudd).
Before Derek can say “I do”, Susan grows in size to an impressive 49ft 11in tall. Wedding guests flee in terror and Susan is herded to a secure military facility under the control of General WR Monger (Kiefer Sutherland).
The script borrows heavily from The Incredibles, with nods to Godzilla and countless B-movies, but there are enough flashes of invention here and a smattering of heartfelt emotion to bring a tear to the eye.
Star Rating: 4/5.
