Mark M @afilmmaker Aug 26 We absolutely loved this film, a great date night story. I'm not sure why the ratings aren't better. This is a love story at its core, between the main characters, who had great chemistry by the way and adorable, and for the planet herself. Kevin Bacon on a tractor, I mean come on...what's not to like. Do yourself a favor and watch this film, then come here and post your review too. Stories like this are worth sharing.

Working in R&D for 55 years I met some real characters, and many said I am an oddity. See more Phuong D @dphphuong May 2 This was actually better than the rating shows imo. It's a cute romcom with a touching story about grief underneath. The acting is good, and the farm scenes are beautiful See more Stephen C @bob25009 07/23/2025 Funny in 1 hour and 32 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 Read all reviews
