Thus is a cute little film. It's quite sweet and heartwarming. It's obviously not for everyone and not quite up to Cusack's usual staandards.
But, I like it. It has charm and it's comforting and nice.
Cusack's character has lost his wife and ends up adopting a very troubled little boy who thinks that he is here on Earth on a mission from Mars. The two are damaged individuals who gradually learn to love again.
