My Favorite Martian
I'm Back
Disney’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 Marian” television series), Disney’s My Favorite Martian keeps kids and parents entertained over and over again with its fast-pace action and nonstop laughs!

Terrible Disney-produced comedy. - estefan
Just plain awful and un-funny tripe. I actually saw this back in cinemas when it first came out and the fact that I didn't remember a thing about it speaks volumes. Christopher Lloyd over-acts to the point of annoyance and Jeff Daniels is just plain bland. Some okay special effects and a couple of little chuckles stop this from being an out-right disaster, but it's still really terrible. I can't believe Sherri Stoner was one of the writers on this.~ LIGHT FUN ~ TOP-GRADE B-MOVIE ~ 3 Stars ~ - SqueakyChair
SNAPSHOT: Fun. Nostalgic if you've seen the Old TV Series, since Ray Walston graces both. Some laughs to be had even if it doesn't work as well as the series did. Worth a looksee. Rainy day fare.
MORE THOUGHTS: The story is kinda silly and waaay out there comedy-wise. It is great fun and made me want to revisit the old series on DVD for fun too. Especially if you haven't seen the TV series to compare it to, you will like it better.
