I was dragged to see this. I went in knowing that I was going to be watching a crappy movie. And I was not disappointed in how bad it turned out to be. My parents paid extra to watch it in 3d. What they gave us was a pair of sunglasses and literally one 3d moment in the first 10 seconds.
So the story. Susan, the heroine of the movie, is about to get married to the local news anchor, Derek. Right before the wedding a meteorite falls on her. No problems, just a bit burnt. She is about to exchange vows with Derek when she glows green and becomes a giant. Everyone runs off in terror and the military who had been tracking the meteorite subdue her.
She gets taken to a containment center. There she meets other monsters. You have BOB, which stands for something but I didn't care to remember, a blue blob with an eye and no brain. The Missing Link, a fish man. And a cockroach who used to be a human until he fused himself with one, played by the actor who plays House on House. As well as giant grub that has no lines.
A giant robot from this squid like alien comes to Earth to leech the material from Susan that made her giant. The entire armed forces prepares to attack as the President greets it when it lashes out. Every thing the military throws at is ineffective so they call on the monsters to save the day.
They send Susan and Co. to destroy it, and succeed, however San Francisco is destroyed in the process. Obviously sense they are monsters even though Susan is still human, they all remain alienated. The alien that sent the robot comes directly to Earth to takeover. The group board the ship and try to stop him. And not to spoil this awful movie, I will stop there. I will say they somehow fit DDR in, but all I could think about was Quick Time Event.
The comedy factor was not at all entertaining. Most of it came from situational irony. Unfortunately it is all stuff that you are used to. In fact it's ironic that the irony is not ironic at all. You know exactly when it comes up, so it's boring. When I saw Stephen Colbert playing the President of the USA, I was hoping to get some of his trademark wit. Nope. They portray him as an idiot and a complete wuss. Possibly the only funny moment was what the President's advisors suggest they do to the robot.
Characters weren't that great. Derek remains a jerk, BOB is still stupid, Link doesn't really get developed, and the cockroach dude lost all credibility with DDR. Susan made no changes and the villain had the most annoying voice ever. I think Dreamworks attempted to make like a parallel to Glados with the villain's computer and tried to be funny.
Recommendation: Please don't see it, you'll save yourself money, for a game or something.

It was actually good review, except the story part, I don't like to know what the movie is about until I see it >.>
