Trivia
At 17:10, Sparks, the first alien Tom and Jake encounter while on top of the roof, tells them "Hello, humans. We come from upstairs." This line was probably intended as a joke, where the word "upstairs" is mistakenly used to mean "space". It is also the likely source of the working title "They Came From Upstairs".

Working title: They Came From Upstairs. This title appeared in some early promotional materials before being changed to Aliens in the Attic (2009).

Goofs
The Sheriff is angry that Uncle Nathan has no license plate on the front of his car (at around 1 min), but this is irrelevant because Michigan does not require a front license plate. At 27:53, a blue Michigan plate is shown on the rear of Uncle Nathan's Lincoln Navigator.
Share this
The Illinois license plate on Ricky's car (at 08:37 to 08:39 with a blue tag in the lower right corner reading 03-10) is out of date. The type of license plate on his car has not been used in Illinois since 2001, but the movie clearly appears to be set in the present.

When Ricky uses the fire extinguisher, he holds the large black nozzle. As it is a CO2 extinguisher, this is one thing you should never do, as you will receive a cold burn from the extremely low temperature.
