Tripp Coley (Lucas Till) is a high school student spends his
time repairing a truck and working at the local junk yard. His life changes
when a mysterious creature appears in the junk yard and starts living in his
truck. Tripp names the creature Creech and he tries to hide him from evil oil
magnate Reese Tennyson (Rob Lowe) who wants to kill Creech and take over his
habitat for a new oil drilling station. Tripp, Creech and Tripp’s love interest
Meredith (Jane Levy) go on a wild adventure to save Creech.

Tripp is a typical brooding teenager who just wants to get
out of his small town. He loves his mother, resents her boyfriend and his real
dad who left them. I would have liked to have seen more family dynamic, it just
seemed stereotypical. Meredith is an overachiever who offers to tutor him and
follows him around and he’s also idolized by a younger student. Both of them
like him so much but he just ignores them. It made me cringe and wondered why
they even like him.

This was a cute movie and if I was a kid I would love it. I thought this movie would be about monster
truck rallying but it turned out to be different. It was more like those
creature makes best friends with a young child movies from the 80s and 90s like
E.T or Magic in the water. The movie
moves at a fast pace which set aside character development and a detailed plot.
So, I found it to be a bit underwhelming. However, I’m sure kids won’t mind
such flaws and this could become a favourite among younger audiences.
