Director: Menno Meyjes
Writer: Screenplay by Seth Bass & Jonathan Tolis, based on David Gerrold's novel "The Martian Child"
Cast: John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Joan Cusack, Bobby Coleman
Genre: Drama, Family
Martian Child is the story of a recently widowed science fiction writer (John Cusack) finding back to life through a imaginative young boy who thinks he's from Mars. Their paths cross as a pending adoption from the time his wife still was alive, comes through without the knowledge of her death. As it turns out, our writer is probably as lost as the boy while trying to cope with the loss.
It's a quite simple and heartwarming drama suitable for the entire family. Don't expect to be blown away by any of the choices going into making it, but it touches well on many of the right notes of this quite limited genre.
