Sweet movie about a widower who ends up adopting a slightly odd child. What I liked about the movie the most was they knew what the good stuff was...John Cusack bonding with the peculiar and cute kid. They didn't waste a lot of time on the overused plot devices to turn the "cute" scenes into a story. When the story begins, Cusack has been a widower for a couple of years and has already thought ... read more

When I saw the trailer and title of this movie it made me think of K-Pax with Kevin Spacey. Although there is a pretty strong cast in this movie, they can't quite pull off the suspense and magic that Spacey did in K-Pax. There are some scenes that get you teased into thinking, "OK, maybe there is something to this martian claim."

The bottom line is that this is a warm fuzzy movi... read more

"I really enjoyed John and Joan Cusack together in this film. It was a little too cute for my taste. It is still a rather decent family film."

Fictional "INFJs"... (19 movies items)

"The little boy in "Martian Child" strikes me as an INFJ. His name is Dennis However, his foster (and later, adoptive) father, David also seems like a grown-up INFJ (grown-up INFJs are harder to pin point because they tend to play down some of their sensitivity in order to survive socially). David Okay, I think INFJs are the cutest personality type of them all... "

Coolest, nicest movie parents... (9 movies items)

"How many prospective adoptive fathers would put up with a kid who has to wear ankle weights, is afraid of the sun, gravity, wears a weight belt, speaks in "martian", steals and lies compulsively and is generally a little bundle of emotional pain? Not many. How many would care about their adoptive sons so much that they'd write a novel about them? That's why David from Martian Child makes this list. "
