to your wish list?
Storyline:
What's the nature of being a parent and of being a child? David is a widower grieving for two years. He writes science fiction and was considered weird as a boy. He meets Dennis, a foster child who claims to be on a mission from Mars, stays in a large box all day, fears sunlight, and wears a belt of flashlight batteries so he won't float away. David takes the six-year-old home on a trial. His sister and his wife's best friend offer support, but the guys are basically alone to figure this out. Dennis takes things, is expelled, and is coached by David in being normal. Will the court approve the adoption, and will Dennis stay? Can a man become a father and a child become a son?

My husband and I decided on this movie for our "Date Night". It is a beautiful story and has alot to say. I am a huge John Cusack fan as well as one of his sister, Joan (Man I would love to have a sister like her). I left there remembering why I love my children so much and how we are all put in line with one another for a reason. You NEED to see this movie, totally worth the small fortune a movie ticket costs these days. I see maybe 2-3 movies a year and am so glad I got the opportunity to see this one in the theatre.

It is so refreshing to see a movie that is about these poor children that are in foster care. Being a parent of 2 adoptive children that were both in foster care and had been neglected and abused, this movie is very true to life. You constantly struggle with the questions of "Am I doing the right thing" or "Can we really handle their issues"? This movie showed that these children just want to be accepted and loved, and the fact that the father did not give up on him spoke volumes. Our 9 year old son actually had tears in his eyes. John Cusack (who happens to be my favorite actor) was so believable in this role. Great movie.

The Martian Child is a touching story of a widower trying to be a father for the first time in his life by adopting a six year old ?martian child?. John Cusack acts flawlessly as a struggling new parent and there is an astonishing connection between him and his son, Bobby Coleman. And who could forget about Joan Cusack, sister to John in real-life as well as in the movie. She brings a sarcastic form of parenting humor to the movie that makes it even more enjoyable. Wonderful feel-good movie.

It was slow at first but it needed to set up the background. I saw the special screening and I LOVED it. I will definately go and see it again when it comes out. Very intresting story line and I love John & Joan Cusack. The little boy in the movie performs well. Very heart warming and is a tear jerker at times and makes you laugh out loud. You will be happy you went.
