Movie Reviews of My Favorite Martian

Movie Review: Ray Walston Shines... But Chris Is Fun Too!
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie was my first exposure to "My Favorite Martian". Originally, I wasn't overly impressed. Though I have always found Chris Lloyd funny, the inuendo used here (especially by Zoot) degrades rather then builds up the fun, for the most part. "Give her the finger." Tim tells Martin (refering to his levitation ability; but the other implication is clear).

Now, I appreciate it a little more but I'd ditch the talking suit. He does nothing for the plot (except a vital 15 second bit).

I have only recently purchased Season 1 of Ray's original My Favorite Martian Series and I have to say that I prefer it over this 80% To be fair, Chris is heart-warming in his own right. But Ray was really the one who caught my attention..."I've been tryin' to hike a ride home for 30 years!" He exclaims. The poor guy. His other comments leave me wonderin' is he playing his '60's character?

Movie Review: Humor for the Whole Family
Summary: 4 Stars

I love Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future, so had great hopes here. As the martian, stranded by his ship's engine problems, he gives the film some humorous moments. Unfortunately some of his speeches were delivered too fast and the viewer can only guess at the content.
They make pretty good use of special effects changing people into aliens or having Lloyd fall literally apart when he feels depressed. I could have skipped the corny talking suit, but guess they wanted to work some animation in as well.
Enjoyable enough on first viewing, but not one that I'll want to see over and over.

Movie Review: Silly- but funny!
Summary: 4 Stars

I can't believe that I laughed so much at this bit of fluff! When My Favorite Martian came on the T.V. and my daughter wanted to watch it, I groaned and focused my attention on my computer. Then she started laughing-then I noticed that 'Uncle Martan' was played by Christopher Loyd(sp)-before I knew it I was watching this silly, funny movie and couldn't stop. I won't go into details about the humor-I'll just say it's a great family movie that even an old foggie like me can enjoy!

Movie Review: Silly fun
Summary: 4 Stars

Some mindless fun aimed primarily at the younger audience, but fans of the old series will get a thrill with numerous references to the previous "Uncle Martin". A CG spacesuit is a scene-stealer, but there is enough going on to provide some "don't ask questions just watch" enjoyment.
