Review: High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale stars in this family comedy about kids who must save the world from a band of knee-high alien invaders they find living in the attic of their vacation home.

The ETs have a mind ­control device that only works on adults, so the kids must keep their parents out of the way while they stop the tiny terrors taking over.

The movie is aimed at young kids and tweenagers, who will love the Gremlins-type antics and slapstick.

The best scene sees the aliens firing darts that turn adults into zombies, resulting in Tisdale's boyfriend (Robert Hoffman) and her gran (Everybody Loves Raymond star Doris Roberts) have a ninja-style battle. The special effects are good too.
