Comical, easy to watch film.....

I have no clue why people are leaving lousy comments on this movie. When you want to critique a movie, you can't judge all movies by a single, concrete formula and then criticize it. One has to take into account what the writer/director/producer was trying to do with the movie, then see if they did it after you've watched it. Martians Go Home is a FARCICAL COMEDY, never pretending to be or trying to be an academy award winning piece of cinematic art. It's about a billion green men and women (Martians) that arrive on Earth because an Earth-bound human music composer inadvertently sent a piece of music into space that just so happens to be the melody that the Martians take as an invitation to visit. ALL OF THEM. Then, the Earth people find out that the Martians absolutely detest dishonesty in ANY form, and use wacky humor to expose everyone and make them less stuffy. If any of this film premise seems like high drama to you, write the academy LOL. I won't give away the ending, but the silly, slapstick humor that you see throughout the movie and the odd human characters that have to tolerate it are all good for a long, steady hour and a half of amusement to the viewer. It's not a perfect film, but for what the makers of the film were trying to do with their limited budget, I think they hit the mark. Who wants perfect acting and fantastic effects in a farcical comedy? All I wanted to do was laugh, and I did. "nuff said!
