Strange kid gets strange new parent

What will John Cusack do when his newly adopted kid think he's from Mars?

Martian Child is a fine and warm drama about a reserved kid who think he is from Mars. John Cusack plays a well writer who is kind of special himself, but a good person and absolutely capable of taking care of a kid. And this he will do, when he adopts this little strange kid.

The storyline isn't extraordinary in any way, but I don't really care, Cusack and this kid makes for a nice movie that can be touching and funny. No shortage of fine emotions, a really feelgood movie, but it has got no edge. Still, I could enjoy this movie for what it's worth. John Cusack do what he do best and the kid is, maybe not the most excellent kid actor, but near a perfect match for our martian child.
