Carter Jenkins and Austin Butler lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2009. What keeps Aliens in the Attic from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
