I hand picked this DVD one Saturday along with some other movie from rental stores, being sure it was going to be yet another long boring freezing winter weekend. I was in mood to watch any comedy/drama with some decent dialogues.
It was a moving story about an adopted kid Dennis with social anxiety. He strongly believes he descended from Mars and earth is too warm for him. Widower science fiction novelist David Gordon(John Cusack cast) decides to raise him up and tries to put up with his eccentricities.
Dennis tries to adapt to Earth's way of life temporarily, thinking he might return to Mars some day. Once he visits a Mars museum and realizes that existence of life on mars is impossible, He gets crazy and climbs a tower awaiting a space ship.
The movie is worth watching once. Since this movie got released after the hindi movie Taaree Jameen Par, it draws some similarities. However dialogues are good. I like the long dailogue in which David tells Dennis, about earth's greatness and why humans reach out for each other. I enjoyed the baseball scenes in the movie(it being baseball season at that time).
