2/10
I can not believe this was based on a novel.

The movie is rather bad and an unfunny comedy. The story, man has this song he writes and plays, somehow this song is like an invitation to Martians, the title characters. These characters are basically annoying, obnoxious, and dreadfully unfunny. And guess what? They are the whole point of the film and drag the movie down with them. So most of the movie is the humans trying to get rid of them and then accepting them when the one guy who summoned them finally figures out how to get rid of them. Rob Snieder I think is one of the Martians, however, most of them are all the same. Rather indistinct, painted green and doing the same bit as all the others. Randy Quaid plays the lead guy, the one who did the accidental invitation. He also has the most problem with said aliens, as they are extremely irritating it makes one wonder how other characters seem to not have a problem with them. They magically appear at very awkward times and proceed to ruin intimate moments and any moment they are in. All this and this movie is supposed to be a comedy and it is highly unfunny.
