Amazon.com:
The skeptical, melancholy eyes of John Cusack anchor Martian Child, a sweet but not cloying story of a widowed man who adopts a misfit kid who believes he's from another planet. David Gordon (Cusack) is a successful science-fiction author--which is perhaps what leads a children's counselor (Sophie Okonedo, Dirty Pretty Things) to pair him with a would-be extra-terrestrial named Dennis (Bobby Coleman). Reluctantly at first, David tries to communicate with Dennis by fostering his belief--but as they grow attached to each other, the administrators of the organization that put them together sees this playing along as a failure to be a proper parent and threatens to take Dennis away. The first two-thirds or so of Martian Child are marvelous; though the scenario could be saccharine, the script and performances are full of details and complexities that make it feel genuine and affecting. The last third, unfortunately, seems to be the result of studio meddling, for the themes and emotions become awkwardly overstated. But what will stay with you are the moments of refreshing honesty and tender trust from the earlier part of the movie; the ending, clumsy and tone-deaf though it is, doesn't wipe away the delicate earlier interplay of David and Dennis. Also featuring Oliver Platt (Funny Bones), Amanda Peet (Igby Goes Down), and Anjelica Huston (Prizzi's Honor). --Bret Fetzer

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - Not Since "The Sixth Sense" MARTIAN CHILD is based on a true story about a single man who writes fantasy novels and is trying to survive the recent loss of his wife. He thinks he wants to adopt a young boy, and there is one who has caught his attention. The boy has only one problem. He is from Mars. John Cusack plays the man and Bobby Coleman plays the boy. Amanda Peet is the man's best friend and Joan Cusack (John's real sister) plays his sister. Not since THE SIXTH SENSE has a young boy (he turned 8 during filming) carried an entire movie with such capability. This is a good movie about good people. This is a sweet movie about a sweet little boy trying to find a way to survive here on earth among people he does not understand, and who definitely do not understand him. See it. You won't regret it. + See Full Customer Review
