Adapted from a true story, Martian Child deals with the loss of family, love and finding ourselves in this universe. Who are we? Where do we... . Excellent movie showing the struggles of adjustment for an abandoned child who finds comfort in being a person from another plant. Full Review

As usual John is a great actor especially when acting with a child.

this movie was honestly really good. i dont know why it got such bad reviews. its a movie for all ages. and i dont know what people expected based on... the fact that its PG rated, but i enjoyed it. It had cute and sarcastic humor. And was a good holiday movie. Full Review

I thought this was a beautiful movie. It was well acted but of course I love John Cusack. I think he is an underated actor. The movie is about... onditional love and trying to find that fine balance of where one fits in but yet still be unique. And anyone who doesn't fit in with the norm can relate to the Martian Child. Well worth seeing this movie. Full Review

Those who stick with Martian Child won't entirely avoid mush, but they will find terrific performances.Full Review

Knockout performances by John Cusack and child actor Bobby Coleman help legitimize a whimsical but sententiously moralizing script.Full Review

One soggy slab of sentimental uplift, but it doesn't pretend to be anything else, and there's some honor in that.Full Review

The problem with Martian Child is that it wants to be a story about outcasts, but Dennis doesn't come off as a cute little rebel.Full Review
