Both 'Sheldon' and Rihanna did a good job with their respective characters. Unfortunately, the trailer for this move is a lot more promising and entertaining than the entire actual movie.
Some of the jokes were actually good, but the ridiculous premise and the terribly bland and pointless soundtrack spoiled everything. Before the movie started, kids in the theatre were laughing loudly at the short preview for the Minions - the same enthusiastic bunch nary made more than a sympathetic giggle throughout the whole of Home, which tells you how poorly done the execution of the movie was.
Having aliens (no matter how likably silly they are) take over the world and then slush off the entire human population to a desert commune in Australia, where they roam around in holiday garments like useless emotionless game avatars - just totally unfunny, pointless and lost on kids.
The movie can't decide if it wants to be a nerdy serious sci-fi or a fun inspiring kid movie - it veers all over the place, and falls flat, throwing the audience into whatever-whoever uninspiring territories, where even good jokes go splat.
By comparison, a good dose of The Jetsons would have been more fun.
