Movie | Martian Child | Pass

John Cusack returns to excellent form in this quirky drama about a rich widower who adopts a child with "special needs". I've got a lot of students with "special needs" (whatever that means) and the "special needs" of the kid portrayed in this movie are ridiculous in an unrealistic way.

Still, the movie is a heartwarmer with some tearjerker moments and a Pass! If you've missed Cusack since Say Anything (not that he hasn't turned out some really interesting movies, but you know what I mean), you'll be pleased.
