MARTIAN CHILD was marketed incorrectly - that can be the major reason for its lack of success in the theatrical release. While all the multiplex theaters are overflowing with loud, improper, raunchy, and special effects driven financial successes (with major exceptions, of course!), puny meaningful and sensitive films such as this are submerged and don’t last long. Should the name of the film have been different? Should the advertisements been better designed? Who knows, but for those who now have the opportunity to hold or rent MARTIAN CHILD, there is a special experience in store.

Based on the current ‘The Martian Child’ by David Gerrold (beautifully adapted for the conceal by Seth Bass and Jonathan Tolins), Director Menno Meyjes has gathered an exceptional cast to display this tale about human needs and how we all acquire security in the warmth of other caring beings. David (John Cusack) is a successful science fiction writer who is a widower, unexcited grieving for his wife. His agent Jeff (Oliver Platt), his sister Liz (Joan Cusack) and his wife’s best friend Harlee (Amanda Peet) assist his ‘convalescence’, but David feels the need for a child. When social worker Sophie (Sophie Okonedo) calls David concerning an available outlandish petite boy Dennis (Bobby Coleman) who believes he is from the planet Mars and hides inside a box, covered with sunscreen and shaded glasses, David responds: he, after all, writes science fiction and is attracted to the conception that Dennis believes he is here from Mars on a mission. Against the advice of his practical sister, David agrees to hold Dennis home, feeling that he is one of the few who can report to Dennis’ behavior.

Life at home is not easy, but with time David and Dennis bond and Dennis comes out of his box to become ‘normal’. It is the prolonged mosey on which David and Dennis embark that holds the meat of the epic. Dennis has been deserted as a miniature child and finds security in believing he is a visiting Martian who will be ‘taken home’ to Mars when his mission to understand human beings is complete. David’s persistent parenting (quoting Churchill’s ‘Never ever, ever,ever, ever, ever give up’), while tested to the coarse, results in a bonding with Dennis that is heart wrenchingly dazzling. And how each of the characters’ lives is changed by this astounding relationship brings the film to a touching terminate.

In addition to the heavenly performances by both Cusacks, Peet, Platt, and Okonedo, there are brief but remarkable cameos by Anjelica Huston and Richard Schiff among others. This is a film that makes a major statement about parenting and single parenting in particular and does so with kindness, tenderness, and staunch emotion. Please examine this film. Grady Harp, February 08

Being a single guy myself, looking into the adoption process of becoming a father of a special needs (older/behavioral) child, I was angry about this movie coming out. I have always believed that we need more movies such as this one that shows adopting an older child and single adoption in a sterling light. There are many older kids such as the one displayed in the movie that need homes. I know this because I am also a child therapist and I work with many of them. What I liked about the movie is how it shows what truly a single man goes through when trying to adopt. I have an older sister fair like the one in the movie. Everything that Cusack’s sister said to him, my sister said to me. “These older kids have problems, why would you want to deal with that? ” she has stated to me. Also how the system looks at a single man not excellent or curious to want to raise kids is there also. It’s murky we live in a society in which men are not articulate to admire kids… unless they are his maintain or unless they are on the football field or something. The lack of clear male role models is one thing that is damaging our society.

The missing piece of the movie that I idea could have made it better is I was expecting the kid to have been more difficult… displaying behavior that would have made it harder to fancy him. The puny guy in the movie was easy to care for. That’s what didn’t fabricate sense to me. He was very socially odd; however, his behavior was not all that unpleasant. I don’t understand why a therapeutic foster home or family couldn’t handle him. He wasn’t aggressive physically or verbally and didn’t have any of the primary issues such as self bad or sexually acting out behavior. He was objective a very neglected, possibly abused child that lived in a fantasy world in order to cope with his reality. Also I didn’t understand why the so called mental health experts in the movie notion this behavior was abnormal taking into memoir that the kid was abandoned and likely abused. It is very accepted for severely abused and neglected children to live in a fantasy world. I can’t count the number of group home kids I have worked with that stated that their mother unbiased bought them an xbox360 or something else titanic and I know they don’t even have parents. It’s easier to get up unfounded stories about being loved than to live with the reality of not being wanted. Also I wish there were more heart felt moments in the movie. The ones that were in the movie were basically ruined by watching the trailer.

Also I have read many reviews stating that the slay of the movie was awful. I concept the last scene when Cusack told the boy how principal and special he is was the best allotment of the movie. That scene made the movie! There are many, many kids who need to hear what Cusack said to that boy. Most people who don’t have any experience working with unwanted children may contemplate that scene was corny, however those who do have experience working with or being one of those kids, that scene was perfect. Gargantuan movie however fair a shrimp under five stars!

By the design, to totally luxuriate in this movie you have to search for at it as a pure drama and not science fiction. Eye the movie with the belief that unwanted, abused and abandoned kids manufacture up fantasy stories in order to cope with their reality and the so called “science fiction” section of the movie will originate more sense. Also steal into record that an adoption process takes at least a year. All of these “sappy” moments could have EASILY happened in a year time frame.

This movie could also be ancient in group therapy for foster kids as a device to gather them to utter themselves about their original issues. Many foster and adopted kids have experienced many of the same situations the young boy in the movie faced. The movie is profitable to employ to commence a discussion and glimpse feelings and succor kids get awareness about themselves… impartial a notion.
