Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 23 Funny in 1 hour and 32 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG-13 for Thematic Elements, Suggestive Material and Some Strong Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more PapiMarts T @RT22922031 Jul 2 Despite Kyle Allen's (Alex) lackluster performance, the rest of the cast manages to salvage the movie with their best efforts in a predictable plot. The most rewarding aspect of the film is the development of Jeff and his daughter Liz's relationship, as Liz's tough exterior gradually melts away to reveal her love for growing flowers. However, with the looming threat of a ruined planet and inevitable destruction, it seemed likely that Alex would leave for Mars. The cover of David Bowie's iconic song, "Space Oddity," provides a glimmer of hope. But unfortunately, the final plot twist was predictable and underwhelming, resulting in a mediocre rating. See more Edmond D @RT36501843 01/07/2025 I loved it all. The music is insipid. The framing is all the same. The dialogue is basic. The property that produces the flowers is pretty. The characters' awkward reactions are far too long and recurrent. The young woman is charming. Kevin Bacon is there, in the background, for some reason, as an extra. He's moving flowerpots. He and his wife have no relationship until 20 minutes before the end. Eventually, she comes to him. The young actor who plays the main character is as nuanced as a wrench. He always dresses the same. He spends too much time looking in the mirror. Perhaps the intention was to be poetic. There's no soul. There was so much, so much to do with Simon Helberg. When films aren't good, I love to fast-forward. And in this case, I had a field day with it, because some of the moments are so embarrassing. I say I loved it because I feel scattered. I wanted a romantic comedy, all good feelings, but this one made my eyes bleed. Perhaps the hardest part to bear is that the guy who's supposed to conquer Mars does nothing all day, and you learn absolutely nothing about space exploration. On the other hand, it might make you want to reread “The Martian”. Fortunately, the ending is a happy one. See more Giorgio G @GioBlob 07/17/2024 Though it has Kevin Bacon and is directed by his wife Kyra Sedgwick, it simply does not cut it. It just has nothing to say. Guy wants to go to Mars, guy falls in love, guy decides not to go. The end!!! 2/10 points. See more Anita C @RT54636510 10/10/2023 I wasted my time on this. Only watched because Kyra directed it. Not a story I could relate to.

No. If you watch, would you like it? Not sure! See more Read all reviews
