Ronny Clarke I may have seen worse movies than this, but at present I am hard put to remember them. This movie contained bad acting, bad direction, a terrible script, and a complete lack of humour and soul. I can safely say I did not smile once during this movie, let alone laugh. The characters were not developed, manic running about was apparently a substitute for intelligent dialogue and intelligent jokes ... or in fact, any jokes at all. I certainly expected better of the stars, and I can only assume they must have been hard up for money to appear in this pathetic excuse for entertainment. To summarise, I would describe this movie as complete and utter excrement.
austin316_sob So taking advice from these "know it all's" from IMDb, might not always be a smart decision, as I remember reading all these negative reviews here about this movie, yet yesterday i felt compelled to pick it up.If you're a fan of feel good family movies, I Highly recommend this title, as long as you're not looking for the Original TV Series plot.This movie was never aimed for the older generation who watched the original TV Series, hence "Disney's Children's MOVIE".With some great laughs from all characters, especially "zoot", this will bring back a dose of nostalgia to those 20 year olds out there, back to there days of transitioning from a child to a teen.Don't listen to these so called "movie critics" because they know just as much about movies as you do. Great Movie for the Kids, or for a Family Flick night.
FilmFanInTheHouse My Favourite Martian (1999, Dir. Donald Petrie) Life couldn't get much worse for News Producer Tim O'Hara. He humiliates the one he loves, Brace Channing and ends up getting fired by her father. Then, a Martian from Mars arrives in his home. The Martian adopts the name 'Uncle Martin' and becomes friends with Tim, whilst he fixes his ship. Unaware to Martin, Tim actually wants to reveal him to the world, but can he actually do that to his new friend and 'Uncle'? I was very young when this came out, and at the time i loved it. I am not familiar at all with the original TV series and had never seen any of the episodes, but i do know what makes a good film, and this film isn't exactly a good film. The film just did not have a well built story. The film just seemed to have a lot of scenes of talking and walking around. The film was basically just following them around in their normal lives. When action did begin to pick up, this was very limited and was over in a matter of minutes. The characters really didn't have much character in them. There weren't many jokes at all coming from any of them. Christopher Lloyd only seemed to play the most interesting character and did provide me with a few laughs. He had all the perfect characteristics, but this still doesn't save a poorly written film."Is there an alien amongst us?" - Brace Channing (Elizabeth Hurley)
blueglittersunshine I'm only 17, so I've never seen the old show. But, I liked this movie. I saw it with my parents when I was 10. I don't know why everyone is complaining. Christopher Lloyd is amazing! He's an amazing actor. I thought he did well. I'm not a big fan of Daryl Hannah or Elizabeth Hurley, but they did well, too. I liked it! The suit was creative, and I found him to be one of the funniest characters. Maybe some of you don't have the imagination, and maybe your children don't either. I see it as a creative movie. It's not my favorite movie of all time, but I liked it. It depends what your taste is. When I first saw it, I didn't know it was a show, and it didn't affect my opinion of it at all.
