Dreamworks has done it again, and I swear, I’m going to have their babies. Monsters Vs. Aliens not only looks pretty, has a fantastic, star-studded cast, but also promises to be side-splittingly hilarious.

The trailer does a good job presenting the film, which pokes fun at 1950’s pulp sci-fi and monster films. I love the cute asides, like the reporter complaining that America seems to be the only country aliens ever land in (although Japan should be a close second). The trailer does an excellent job presenting the humor and the plot at the same time.

We get to see the basic plot, aliens attack Earth, and Earth is so desperate, they decide to fight back with monsters, who are just as “scary.” However, it does a good job of not giving away what happens between the monsters and aliens, because never once in the trailer do the two groups meet. We also get just enough humor in it to make me excited, but it doesn’t give away all the good jokes. I know what I’m going to see for my birthday!
