    In Some Ways Better Than the Book

    I liked the book, and thought that the movie was one of the very rare instances in which the movie made parts of it better (the choice of final annoying song and dance number, turning the Martians from all looking alike into a troupe of mostly talented stand-up comedians, the method of sending them home).

    Still, the fact that a sci-fi comedy book from over 50 years ago could be made into an even remotely entertaining and relevant movie says a lot about the quality of the novel.

    It's not Spaceballs, Hitchhiker's Guide, or Galaxy Quest, but it's still mostly funny.

    Plus, I always love Gerrit Graham.

    Mars Needs Writers!

    This is a horrible, unfunny film. The real tragedy here is that it is based on a funny, popular novel by the late Fredric Brown. Brown is a terrific writer of both science fiction and mystery novels. This was his most popular novel and did not deserve such a fate. Look for the book in your libraries. Look for this movie in your toilet. Senor Sock go.to/senor_

    Yes! Go Home, please!!

    Ever wonder what Earth would be like if we were invaded by Martians who all thought they were a bunch lousy comedians? Me neither! But for those who do there's 'Martians Go Home,' a laughless comedy that lives up to it's title. You'll be begging for the Martians to go home a mere 10 seconds after they first appear. The Martians are almost all played by stand-up comedians, among them Barry Sobel and Rob Schneider. People who know how to be funny, but you'd never know it here. About the only thing I enjoyed about this movie was seeing Dean Devlin, future producer of 'Independence Day' playing a hot-shot director of sci-fi films. It was good for a short laugh.

    So unfunny it's...unfunny.

    Not the worst movie I have ever seen, but close (that dubious honour is split between Cheerleader Ninjas and Space Thing). Martians come to town and annoy the f*** out of humans. That's it for the idea. Apparently the book is much, MUCH better.

    The good things I have to say are few, but I need this bit for you to be able to read this: the director knows how to point a camera, get a scene edited to his liking, and at least not rely on ridiculous amounts of fart jokes and dildoes (both Cheerleader Ninjas references).

    And to the person that was suggesting that we were wrong to call this movie bad Sci-fi: You're very wrong. We acknowledge that this movie is not particularly scientific. The problem is that it's bad COMEDY.

    Avoid to watch it.

    I felt very disappointed when I watch this movie.

    I read the book time ago, and enjoyed it... it was a humorous point of view for an alien invasion.

    But this movie is an insult to F. Brown (good luck for him to be dead since 1972).

    There is nothing good in this movie, I have a wide humor sense and this movie could not get a smile from me.

    The adaptation was awful, there are not words for such crime.

    And the acting... God! Is too poor...

    A bad bad movie.

    Period.
