My Favorite Martian Ratings & Reviews
- SandyOlson78May 11, 2025A very fun movie
- ርልዪረJune 2, 2025Based on a 1960’s television series by the same name, this movie stars Jeff Daniels as an out of luck television news producer that meets an alien from Mars played by Christopher Lloyd. There are some other big names in this movie including: Daryl Hannah, Elizabeth Hurley and Wallace Shawn. So the acting is great, but the script falls flat. I had one big laugh moment in this movie and with these great comedic actors, I should have had more. The tone is inconsistent as well. This movie doesn’t seem to be targeting families as it should with the premise and comedy. Instead there are some sexual jokes, which might go over kids heads, but seemed in contrast to the rest of the movie. I’d say skip this one.
