Like no one has ever seen annoying kids before.
I thought they were pretty realistic. The son was played perfectly- an idealistic, not too bright, angry but good hearted teen age mess. Having them be lovable, wise moppets would have been unreal.
Open the door for Mr. Muckle!!

they tried to make Rachel a "smart kid" in the beginning when she was handing out sage advice to Ray on how to relate to his son ("you're not going to reach him that way.")

The kids were obnoxious, annoying & the opposite of entertaining. Most of us watch movies like this to escape from real life, not to wallow in the most irritating aspects of it. It is hard to think of any character in this picture who is not completely unlikeable - but the kids take the award as the most objectionable. The special effects are impressive (but only technically - the aliens & their contraptions are not menacing or memorable), but the story is a mess - full of contradictions & plot holes, the dialogue between the 3 main characters is cringeworthy; all the foundations are badly flawed, so the movie falls down.

I agree. The boy should have died for his stupidity, just like in life.
