7/10
This film works primarily because the female is the heroine which doesn't happen too often in films and in animation

(2009) Monsters Vs. Aliens COMPUTER ANIMATED/ FAMILY

Basically it's a 'monsters taking on aliens' not 'humans vs aliens' slowed by a very long 30 minute introduction made almost similar to Pixar's "The Incredibles" except these characters are almost to the point of uninteresting. The plot has Susan (voice of Reese Witherspoon) whose just about to embark on marrying to a self absorbed duffous who conveniently gets struck by a flying meteor empowering her to become extremely large in size before being labelled as a "monster". She gets put away to some secret gov't facility with other uninteresting 'monsters' (voiced by Seth Rogen and Hugh Laurie of the popular show "House") but consist of super abilities and they eventually coincide against the attackers of earth. Mature viewers don't know if it could've happened to anybody else or does it just happen to Susan- we'll never know nor does it address Susan's bathroom/ hygiene issues since she's still a human but just a giant in size. Aforementioned, if viewers can get past the long introduction, this film may work as a female as the heroine which doesn't happen too often in films and in animation.
