My Favorite Martian

Buy This Item My Favorite Martian by Buena Vista Home Video  Available from Amazon  $9.99  on 11-16-2008     Tired but watchable adaptation of the popular '60s TV show of a friendly Martian who lives with an agreeable earthling. Like Disney's other live-action remakes <I>101 Dalmatians</I> and <I>Flubber</I>, the emphasis is on quick-moving scenes and special effects--not character. Jeff Daniels is the bemused earthling who gets to know Christopher Lloyd's alien ways. Much of the film feels like a retread borrowing heavily from other sci-fi comedies (and "fish out of water" films), including Lloyd's own <I>Back to the Future</I>. Lloyd and his talking space suit (voiced by Wayne Knight who brings the same personality as his Newman role on <I>Seinfeld</I>) don't know simple Earth customs but inexplicably know every pop culture reference in the last 10 years. Daryl Hannah and Elizabeth Hurley are along for the ride as Daniels's good-girl and bad-girl flames. TV's Martian, Ray Waltson, shows up as a secret agent alien hunter--and pours more emotion into his scenes than the rest of the movie combined. Ages 6 and up. <I>--Doug Thomas</I> Reader Reviews This is a great movie for children of all ages. I have a 9 and 6 y.o. and they absolutely love the movie. It is definitely going to be part of the collection that I can recite in my sleep! :-) Highly recommend.
