MARTIAN CHILD (Theatrical Release USA 2007)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

Martian Child—outstanding story—stars John and Joan Cusack, Amada Peet and Bobby Coleman. This classic story completely missed earning its box office dollars, but will, in no way miss the heart…a very good watch. Don’t miss this film. Terrific movie for the whole family.
