Movie Reviews of My Favorite Martian
Movie Review: Good, But Not Very-Good, 3.5 Stars.
Summary: 3 Stars
It emphasizes gags over story, and it misses the point. The mutating chewing-gum, the talking suit, the shrinking ray, and so on. But none of these are developed or closely tied to the story. They would have done better with less gags and better character and story development. It is still worth watching once or twice on it's silly entertainment value.
Summary of My Favorite Martian
Tired but watchable adaptation of the popular '60s TV show of a friendly Martian who lives with an agreeable earthling. Like Disney's other live-action remakes 101 Dalmatians and Flubber, the emphasis is on quick-moving scenes and special effects--not character. Jeff Daniels is the bemused earthling who gets to know Christopher Lloyd's alien ways. Much of the film feels like a retread borrowing heavily from other sci-fi comedies (and "fish out of water" films), including Lloyd's own Back to the Future. Lloyd and his talking space suit (voiced by Wayne Knight who brings the same personality as his Newman role on Seinfeld) don't know simple Earth customs but inexplicably know every pop culture reference in the last 10 years. Daryl Hannah and Elizabeth Hurley are along for the ride as Daniels's good-girl and bad-girl flames. TV's Martian, Ray Waltson, shows up as a secret agent alien hunter--and pours more emotion into his scenes than the rest of the movie combined. Ages 6 and up. --Doug ThomasDisney's hilarious MY FAVORITE MARTIAN is an intergalactic comedy that crash-lands the classic television series into the nineties! This hilarious adventure begins when an ambitious TV reporter, Tim O'Hara (Jeff Daniels), stumbles upon a Martian (Christopher Lloyd) who has just crashed on Earth! Thinking this is the story of the Millennium, Tim schemes to expose the Martian -- who has taken human form as "Uncle Martin." When Tim's efforts are constantly foiled by Uncle Martin's crazy antics, he decides to help the resourceful alien return home. With the government hot on their trail and a spaceship in pieces, can they blast Uncle Martin off in time? Wild special effects create outrageous laughs, including aliens morphing, cars shrinking, objects floating, and Martin's rowdy spacesuit, Zoot. Also starring Elizabeth Hurley (AUSTIN POWERS), Daryl Hannah (SPLASH), and Ray Walston (from the original "My Favorite Martian" television series), MY FAVORITE MARTIAN keeps kids and parents entertained over and over again with its fast-paced action and nonstop laughs!
