Sorry, this movie sucks

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Best movie of this year hands down!

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This film will definitely be among my favorites. The film is incredibly touching and funny. And these contrasting emotions very harmoniously replace each other in the film. Funny antics of the main characters are replaced by arguments about human nature. The plot line dives into the problems and difficulties of interaction of the main characters, so that each time they emerge from them, rejoicing at the oxygen and lightness that comes with every new frontier overcome. The film is not only about the child needing a parent to understand this world, but also about the fact that the parent needs a child to understand himself and not forget who he is, despite the arsenal of masks that are customary to wear in society. Dialogues of heroes, even the most frivolous, are permeated with truths and clever conclusions. Many of the phrases from this film are worthy to become "winged". The film is full of the smallest charming details. Especially I liked the soundtrack Guster - "Satellite", playing during the Martian dance of David and Dennis.

"Martian Child" is a kind of sweet and ultimately flavorless drama. The story is simple , David is a lonely widower, science fiction novelist makes the giant decision to adopt Dennis. A child who lives in a world of his own, he is very shy, he claims that he is from Mars and he hates the sun. But it is clear that he is simply a human boy in need of love. The most interesting aspect of this film is seeing the character of Dennis progression throughout the film , from a troubled boy to a happy kid , it was really well done. This film shows that all children need parental love. Although for me, this film seemed too sentimental , it is very touching . David's encouragement to Dennis "never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever give up" is very heartwarming and inspiring. The main purpose of the film is to introduced us to two character , make us love them and see them grow together , their happy and difficult moments. I recommend this film. This is just another reminder for us that, all the children are the flowers of life.

There is something in this movie that makes me rewatch this film. The main role is played by the inimitable John Cusack. In this film, we need to listen to him very carefully. He says wise things to which we should not only listen to it, but also hear. The film is intended for family viewing, although the genre is listed as a drama, but nothing particularly dramatic in it. Although sometimes touching scenes make me shed a tear. I liked the film precisely with its meaning and touchingness. I watched it in one breath. And even those that made me think about how I would behave in place of the main character. Could I raise a foster child? In general, the film with meaning. It raises the topic of fathers and children, foster children and adoptive parents. I advise you to watch this film without exception.

The first 20 minutes were kind of rustic, so I was like "not more than 6, probably". Somewhere after "Winston Churchill" quotation it started getting more and more fascinating, and I thought "well, all is not lost, I might give it 8 after all". The last 15 minutes made me cry as hard as I possibly could. So it's 10. This wondeful movie deserves even more, but that's all I can give to it."Martian Child" is a story about a little boy, Dennis (Bobby Coleman), who strongly believes that he is from Mars and claims that his parents will soon come to get him home and a newly-widower, David (John Cusack), who stuggles with untimely demise of his wife and decides to adopt little Martian child to honour his wife, who also once was an orphan and has always dreamt of taking an abandoned child.Dennis was marveoulsly potrayed by very talented young actor, Bobby Coleman, who managed to create an image of an "extraterrestrial creature". At the beginning of the movie, we can see Dennis inside the box - both, explicitly and implicitly. But, gradually, he learns how to be a "human" and goes out of the box. The audience understands right from the start, that Dennis, imagining himself being from Mars, is only hiding from the real truth - he was rejected by his parents and they will never come back again. But Dennis. He lives in his own world. For him, being a Martian is a new norm, so, he doesn't understand why adults want to convince him he is just making up things.David is a best-selling author of a sci-fi book about the space adventures. At the end of his novel all the main characters die, but his editor wants him to write a sequel, which is, obviously, impossible. So, David writes a story about his aqquentance with Dennis and tells the readers about the way he teaches this young creature to be a "human". The editor doesn't like even the idea of the book and asks David a question, which is a culmination of the whole movie - why can't you be what we want you to be? David is also a Marian child. A bit older, but also rejected by the society. They help each other. A little boy helps an adult to make first steps after his wife's passing away. A little boy shows him that the most important thing is to be yourself, no matter what they say. An adult makes little boy believe that love exists. An adult promises little boy to accept him as he is, as, by the end of the day, it's the only thing that matters. P.s. Many thanks to the people who created the script. "Loving one, which is already here" "Sometimes we just reach out and expect nothing in return" "You should never ever-ever-ever-ever-ever-ever-ever give up. Winston Churchill said that, I think" "I have found out that I can love an alien, and he can love a creature"
