In Monsters Vs. Aliens Susan Murphy (Witherspoon) is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk. She mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a "Monster" named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured by General W.R. Monger (Sutherland) and held in a secret government compound filled with other "monsters" like herself. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed DR. Cockroach Ph.D. (Laurie); the macho half-ape-half fish The Missing Link (Arnett); the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B. (Rogen); and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to save the world from imminent destruction. Along with the main feature is "B.O.B.'s Big Break," a 3-D companion story starring everyone's favorite gelatinous hero and featuring the voice talents of Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, and Kiefer Sutherland. (Gary Reber)
