In my ongoing quest to conquer the Cusack Collection, I “suffered” through “Martian Child” tonight. I watched this with reluctant trepidation; in fact the movie had sat on my counter for nearly three weeks. Critically this film was slaughtered, and everyone I know who saw it – gave it a resounding meh.
My opinion; it was a pretty good movie and worth watching. I thought Cusack was very good, though maybe a little awkward working with the child actor. Amanda Peet was charming, and his sister did a really good job… playing his sister. By the way, if we’re going to recycle the siblings playing siblings thing – can’t we have another Emilio/Charlie film (Men at Work II?)?
One of the secrets to happiness is managing your expectations, and mine were admittedly pretty low going in. But, yeah I liked it.
