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!
Jeannette says
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!
Christy Maurer says
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.
Christy Maurer says
It is! I want to see it again for sure.
Melissa says
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!
Christy Maurer says
I agree! You’ll be able to get it at the Redbox soon probably since it is being released on DVD next week.
Melissa Pezza says
We absolutely LOVE Home. That little alien is delightfully goofy. It’s such a great family film.
Christy Maurer says
Yes, he is! I love the theme that everyone needs to feel like they fit in!
Sandy KS says
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!

Awesome! It really is cute!

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.
Christy Maurer says
You should take them for sure! It is so cute!
Grace Hodgin says
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.
Christy Maurer says
I agree! I just can’t believe how quickly it’s gone!

We missed this movie. Glad to hear that the DVD will be released. I’ll have to get this for the kids.
Christy Maurer says
Yes, you really need to!
Annemarie LeBlanc says
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!
Christy Maurer says
It is super cute for families! I love action and mystery too!

It’s very fun and cute!
Tanya says
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!
Christy Maurer says
Thank you! I am not sure I could handle hot all year long!
rosemary palmer says
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.
Christy Maurer says
Sometimes kid movies are even more fun than adult lol.
Michele D says
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.
Christy Maurer says
Enjoy it!
Rosey says
I’m not big on back-to-school either. I like the kids here with me.
Christy Maurer says
I miss them when they’re gone!
Jeanine says
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!
Christy Maurer says
It’s really cute! It didn’t get nearly enough advertisement.
tammileetips says
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!

Christy Maurer says
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 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.
Christy Maurer says
Yes, be sure to get it and watch with them!
Bree @ HalfPennyBlog says
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!
Christy Maurer says
It is worth it! It’s very cute.
jared's mum says
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.
Christy Maurer says
Awww, that is so cute!
Peachy @ The Peach Kitchen says
My daughter and I loved Home and we cried towards the end.
Christy Maurer says
