Reviews

Despite a talented cast led by Christopher Lloyd and Jeff Daniels, 'My Favorite Martian' failed to capture the attention of critics and audiences alike. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a disappointingly low rating of 12%, with critics pointing out the lackluster execution of the promising premise. IMDb users rated the movie at 5.1/10, citing inconsistency in tone and pacing as major drawbacks. Metacritic was equally unimpressed with a score of 33/100, noting that the comedy felt forced and predictable. While some viewers found moments of charm in the performances of the lead actors, the overall consensus was that 'My Favorite Martian' fell short of its potential and failed to leave a lasting impression.
