Review of Martians Go Home (1989) by Mike M — 24 Jan 2011
Martians Go Home.
This is another of those 80's era movies that Critics hate because it does not take itself seriously.
It is a parody of 50's sci-fi Xenophobia that uses second tier comedians to display a picture of a Martian culture that serves only to annoy others when given the chance. The movie gets blasted for using such "talent", but those cast truly do fit the bill to a T. Besides, did the critics really want to see Eddie Murphy or George Carlin toss out obnoxious one lines meant more to irritate than elicit laughter?
It does have kind of a "wizard of Oz" vibe going thought it. Surreal until you want to cry out for home.
If you are into bad cinema such as "The Big Bus" or "Americathon" I highly suggest you give this a spin.
