SHORAY BALDES, SHORAY LITRUS. Meldelsdocéw, que raiva que eu tenho de pegar filmes achando que são comédia e me farão dar umas risadinhas e no fim são daqueles filmes lindos e tristes afudê, que maltratam o coração da gente durante 128 minutos e no fim deixam a gente acreditando na humanidade. Que raiva! Tipos que o cara era um escritor famosão e viuvo e decide adotar um menininho duns 7 anos de idade. O piá é todo problemático, uma fofura, acha que é de Marte e quase convence que É MESMO. Agora, tu quer chorar mesmo vai nos extras e vê o verdadeiro marciano, por que, oi, é um filme baseado em fatos reais, aí mostra quem são de verdade o escritor famosão e o filho marciano, que já deve estar com uns 25 anos de idade, COISA MAIS LINDA. Sério, gente. Filme bonito, bem feito, com o John Cusack, prá chorar em aramaico e ficar com o coração quentinho no final.

Cute Movie

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 movie. It has some wonderful scenes that really grab you and a few that kind of plod along. It provided quite a few laughs and some tender moments. It was the kind of movie that you could spend an afternoon with.

Full Throttle Cute

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 about adopting, they didn't spend half an hour getting us to this point, more like 5 minutes. It was nice for a change to see a movie filled with people I would actually like to know.
