I saw this movie with my two 4 year old nephews, and it was a tough job getting them to watch it all the way through. The humor and story were above their pay grade as 4 year-olds, so this was definitely meant for older kids.
The humor was based on a lot of cultural references that only adults could really appreciate, though I didn't laugh all that much. Groaned, yes, laughed . not so much. If you're going to include dialogue that isn't going to make a lick of sense to the kiddies, at least try to get the humor a wee bit sophisticated for us adults. And the 4 year olds, and I think for many children, they had trouble wrapping their heads around the whole "who is the alien" part. I'm sure there's an age where this won't be a problem, but 4-6 ain't it.
It's been a few days since I saw it, so I can't really recall anything overly memorable about the film. A lot of clichés, general "the West is arrogant" theme throughout the story, and by the end we were all happy to get back in the car and put Wall-E in the DVD player.
