	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Although not bowling me over, 'Planet 51' is a jolly and good-looking animated feature in glorious 2-D. (...) it was beautifully animated in Spain (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"A high concept gets low execution in "Planet 51," a lame-brained toon that even kids will recognize as an insipid goof on sci-fi conventions. (...) there's nothing funny, provocative or involving"	NEG
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"A playful throwback to the days when cartoons were mostly aimed at children. (...) a perky though not terribly imaginative feature aimed primarily at youngsters"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"'Planet 51, funny? Only if you're on Planet Denial. (...) insipid and disjointed comedy (...) Strangely, neither the astronaut nor Lem, an astronomy buff, shows any interest or curiosity in each other's worlds."	NEG
United States	Adam Markovitz Entertainment Weekly	"Delivers a few pleasant surprises, including a smart story (...) and clever characters"	NEU
