So they've adapted The True Meaning of Smekday into a movie, Home. It doesn't look much like the book, although it might be fun regardless, but wow, is their voice casting weird.

For instance, Hollywood has always had an issue with casting older actors to play younger characters (eg the mid-20s actors playing teenagers in the original Beverley Hills 90210). However, Home takes this to ridiculous extremes: Tip, the main character - who is nine years old in the book - is being played by Rihanna.

Rihanna does not sound like a nine-year-old, people.
