I just finished watching the Martian Child. I'm such a sucker for sappy movies.

If you keep in mind that the movie is about a weird child, then it'll get you through the slow parts. But then again, if you're a parent like me who, as I've already mentioned, love sappy movies, then you're golden.  It's about a child who has been abused and abandoned and has been passed down from foster care to foster care with no luck. Because he is a kid who thinks he is a Martian on Earth on a mission, he just doesn't fit with anybody. Until a science fiction writer comes along. It took a long time for the writer to get the child to feel comfortable with him and there were ups and downs. But in the end, the writer was successful in showing the Martian child that unlike his parents, he would never leave him.

It's all about unconditional love.
