DreamWorks Home
How has your summer been going? Mine is going way too quickly! Every time I think of back-to-school, I get a sick feeling in my stomach. I know a lot of parents love back-to-school, but I can’t stand it! This will only be my son’s second full year in school as he was always homeschooled until his junior year. Yep. That means he is going to be a senior! My baby! My last child will be graduating. Hate it. It was bad enough when my daughter graduated! Where has the time gone?
An update: June 2018
It’s been 2 summers since I wrote this post. Cherish the time you’ve got with your kids. My son is now employed full-time, and I rarely see him! Trust me. Make family time a HUGE priority!
If you’ve been following my Summer Fun Series (SFS) you’ll see that we have done some fun things including:
- Seeing Cinderella, Insurgent, and Age of Adaline
- Going to the Taylor Swift 1989 World Tour and watching Pitch Perfect 2
- Seeing Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 and being super disappointed in it
- Going to Wildwater Kingdom
Our latest adventure was seeing DreamWorks Home at the cheap theater. It. Is. Adorable. I was really worried that it was not going to be that great since it didn’t seem to stay in the big theaters for all that long. I needn’t have worried. It was just so cute and funny.
Home shares the story of Tip, a girl who moved to the US from Barbados, and Oh, an alien from…well, all over! It is a story about wanting to fit in. It is about love and friendship. And it is about never giving up when things get rough! I can’t say enough good things about Home from DreamWorks. You are really going to want to buy this one for your collection! DreamWorks Home was released on DVD and BluRay July 28, 2105. It stars Rhianna, Jim Parsons and Jennifer Lopez. The soundtrack is really good and features songs from both actresses.
Have you seen DreamWorks Home yet? I highly advise you to do it if you haven’t 🙂
We totally missed this when it was in the theaters. I am looking forward to having a family movie night at home and watching it soon!
It is adorable! You guys will have fun watching it!
We saw this movie about two months ago and it was just too cute! My little guy absolutely adored it! I’m glad you got to check it out and enjoyed it as well!
I loved it! I will probably have to buy this one for myself for Christmas.
We saw Home, and it was just the most adorable movie. I can’t wait to get it for our DVD.
It is! I want to see it again for sure.
We were curious about this movie but now I know we are going to see it. Going to the movies is so pricey these days we are a little more picky about what we see but this looks like a good one!
I agree! You’ll be able to get it at the Redbox soon probably since it is being released on DVD next week.
We absolutely LOVE Home. That little alien is delightfully goofy. It’s such a great family film.
Yes, he is! I love the theme that everyone needs to feel like they fit in!
I seen Mall Cop 2. That was pretty funny. I recommend if someone needs a good laugh to watch that one.
Funny movies are great!
Yes, I have already seen this movie with my son, and we really enjoyed it!
Awesome! It really is cute!
I haven’t seen the movie Home yet but it really looks so cute. I’m looking forward to picking up the DVD soon.
It is such a cute movie!
I think this is still at the discount theater nearby, so I need to take the kids. We have wanted to see it and I forgot.
You should take them for sure! It is so cute!
Oh Senior year is fun and I bet he will love this year! There will be lots of great memories to create and no matter how old they get they are still your babies.
I agree! I just can’t believe how quickly it’s gone!
I’ve missed out on the last few Dreamworks movies. This one sounds really cute! I’ll have to see it!
It is one to watch for sure!
I haven’t heard of this movie, but it sounds like a good one. I definitely agree that summer has been going by way too quickly!
It seems like it wasn’t in the theaters all that long, but it is worth watching!
We missed this movie. Glad to hear that the DVD will be released. I’ll have to get this for the kids.
Yes, you really need to!
Despite my preference for action and mystery films, I think Dreamworks Home would be a great movie for family bonding time. It looks like it is a “feel good” movie!
It is super cute for families! I love action and mystery too!
This looks like it was a really great movie!! I haven’t been to the movies in a while and I’m mad because I really wanted to see this one!
You’ll have to rent it! It’s so cute.
I haven’t been to the movies in ages. This sounds like a feel good film. I will look for this.
It definitely is! Enjoy!
I haven’t seen much advertising for this movie. Sounds like it is a perfect summer film!
Be sure to look for it on DVD/BluRay soon!
Home sounds like a great animation movie and can not wait to see it in UK cinemas.
It is very well done!
We haven’t seen it yet but it looks like a fun movie! We’ll have to watch it for a date night sometime.
It’s very fun and cute!
I haven’t heard of this movie before but it sounds good. Summer here in Manila is all year round and TOO hot (except for rainy season, which has started). Congratulations on your son graduating next year!
Thank you! I am not sure I could handle hot all year long!
I hear about all of these cute movies out but really never see them. I don’t have young ones around. I’m glad there is still some fun movies kids can see without violence and language.
Sometimes kid movies are even more fun than adult lol.
I can’t wait to see this movie soon. The commercials get my kids laughing each time they see it. Picking up our copy this week.
Enjoy it!
I’m not big on back-to-school either. I like the kids here with me.
I miss them when they’re gone!
I saw this on Cineplex on demand this weekend. Wanted to check it out but my kids didn’t really know what it was so I’m going to find the trailer and see if they want to check it out!
It’s really cute! It didn’t get nearly enough advertisement.
I can’t believe we haven’t been to see this movie yet. The commercials always crack me up when they are on the tv.
I know! I just saw one today. I think it releases this Tuesday!
We haven’t seen it yet. I would love to. It does sounds like a must see movie. I will have to tell my husband about it.
It is really cute!
This was a fantastic movie. I am looking forward to buying a copy to have at home.
Me too!
We saw it in theaters when it came out. We absolutely loved it, my daughter and I already have a date to buy the DVD on Tuesday.
Awww, have fun!
We haven’t seen this movie yet but I will be adding this to my list of movies to watch with my family. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome…enjoy!
Congrats on getting him to this point! I know, I hate back to school season too and our oldest is starting high school this year – eek! Good luck to us all!
Yes, good luck to us!
My 5 year old has been dying to see this movie but I’ve read mixed reviews on it. I’m glad to see that someone else liked it and will be looking for it at the dollar theater here!
I know, I saw those reviews too. It is adorable! I am not sure why they didn’t like it!
I haven’t seen Home yet and the kids seem like they want to see it. It’s coming out on DVD, we’ll rent it when it gets to the Red Box
They’ll really like it! It’s so sweet!
We are so not ready for summer to be over! We watched the move Home and loved it!
It’s flown by!
I have heard of this movie, so thanks for highlighting today! I now have it on my list to view as there is nothing better than Friday night at home with the families watching a movie!
That’s true! This is a heartwarming one!
We will definitely be watching this by rental soon! My daughter loves movies and this one looks so cute! Thanks for this post!
Enjoy it! It’s very cute!
My baby just graduated in June and is starting college next month. The time flies by so fast for sure. I have not seen Dreamworks Home yet but can’t wait to get this movie on DVD. This sounds like it will be an awesome family movie and I love the trailer. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats to your baby! Time does fly! You’ll enjoy the movie!!
We did see Home and my girls really enjoyed. Can’t wait to see it again!
It is one to watch over and over!
We saw this recently and it was so much fun. My kids enjoyed it just as much as I did 😉
That is great! It really is so funny.
We saw Home and OMG!! Cutest movie ever!!! Cannot what for it to come out on DVD so we can watch it again!
Me too! It’s adorable!
I missed this movie before and I can’t wait to see it now. It is going to be my new favorite – I can tell!
It’s on DVD tomorrow!!
I have four boys that have yet to see it but are bugging to see it. Sounds like a great movie, will have to take the time to see it with them.
Yes, be sure to get it and watch with them!
I have been hoping to see Home, but had my doubts on whether it was really worth it or not. However, I’m leaning a little bit more towards seeing it, and this helped convince me!
It is worth it! It’s very cute.
i fell in love with Tip + Oh when we watched it in May! My son was so smitten he even collected the Oh Happy Meal toys! It will surely be a great idea to watch it the second time around.
Awww, that is so cute!
My daughter and I loved Home and we cried towards the end.
Awwww
