Martian Child

Synopsis: Widowed man adopts crazy kid.
Review: There's a few moments where you'll ask yourself, is this kid really from Mars? Or wait a minute, am I watching the Sixth Sense...is John Cusack really dead and this estranged boy is helping him uncover himself? Or you might even ask, why in the hell is Joan Cusack in yet another John Cusack movie...isn't this getting really annoying?
Despite the questions, the movie gets across a good and not overly-played message. You shouldn't regret watching this as there are a few positive things you can take away from it. The movie would have been better though if John Cusack held up a boombox over his head at the end to get the kid to come down.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10
