CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Martian Child arrives without much buzz and receives mostly so-so reviews. Kyle Smith in the New York Post describes it as "a sweet father-son heart warmer ... which works the tear ducts as expertly as an Irish barman dispensing Guinness." And Liam Lacey in the Toronto Globe and Mail advises: "If you're allergic to schmaltz, bring a bottle of Benadryl along to Martian Child."

Some people should keep their domestic diagnosis to themselves.A movie about an abused child who learned to survive his days through fantasy and the man he learns to trust.A nice story.

This is a cute movie about a new dad and a kid who has some definite separation issues.Well acted by John Cusack and the kid.A new twist on martian behavior in earth stranded E.T.s.The heart warming relationship will get you if the gravity belt doesn't!
