Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

steeledanton weird. I don't know why i was expecting Seth Green to be evidently apart of this film...for some irresistible reason that led me to contemplate this film as well as ponder it for a few years now. Luckily for my Boost mobile Service I had the great opportunity to follaw through and watch it. Much likea Carl Hiasson book i had been reading HOOT, i got it, started it, took breaks from it and had suspiscions on how it would end. I'm not overly excited nor too disappointed thats for sure. Mainly the situation we have here is that a boy has his mom kidnapped, and he wanders onto a ship in which he saw that she was put on. It turns out that while being a stow away he runs into another Human. The important part about this other Human is that the same exact thing happened to him right around the same age as the littler boy. So it appears that the older kid had been on this ship for about a good decade longer and stuck apparently. So now the two boys are avoiding getting captured by the aliens as well as simultaneously trying release the mom that had been captured !

Rich Wright I don't know about Mars (apart from the fact they're £1.00 for a pack of 4 at Morrison's at the minute... YUM) but I'll tell you what this sorry excuse for a family film 'needs': A less stupid plot, characters that don't make you want to tear your hair out in frustration, and not as much pandering to the stereotypical 'Disney' audience... Which probably doesn't even exist now.This poor kid... he's extremely rude to his Mom, and before he can apologise, she abducted by aliens to have her brains sucked out so a bunch of robots can be better nannies. Yes, you DID read that right. Rather than alert the authorities, he hitches a ride on the spacecraft, and ends up on the Red Planet itself. Judging by what we see of the civilisation there in this movie, there must be something wrong with our detectors. How could we miss all the buildings, shuttles and martians I ask you? NASA needs to issue a recall on their little toys, methinks.He escapes from the clutches of the enemy upon landing, and is desperate to get his mater back. So, what kind of allies does he make up there, to aid him in his fight? An extremely annoying, obese Earth man, who's been stuck there since he was a kid and is obsessed by 80's culture (that's all he knows). An extremely irritating metal dog who does NOTHING throughout the entire film... Apart from a sight gag where it throws up bolts and screws. Hardy har har. And an extremely obnoxious female Mars inhabitant who wants to rebel against the order of things there... And has learned to speak fluent HIPPY English and values by watching lots of episodes of a long discontinued Earth sitcom. As you do.As this unlovely foursome go on their travels, you may start to notice a pattern emerge. There's a chase scene, followed by conversations laden with exposition, another chase scene, an attempt at a heartwarming moment and/or a failed effort at a joke, then YET ANOTHER c... You guessed it. You also have to tolerate the most tacked-on romance I've seen in recent months, between the alien flower girl and the fat man. There is NO build-up to this great event... They meet each other, he's ready to kill her... But one brief explanation later, his face is as red as a beet, and she's smiling like a Cheshire Cat. Perhaps a little bit of... I dunno.. something I call LOGIC and REASON got thrown out the window because of Disney's desperation to provide a moral about 'love being possible between two diverse cultures'. Bless. If you'll excuse me, I'm about to do an impression of the aforementioned titanium pooch. Only this time... You'll see THE REAL THING.I'll save my best remarks till last... the animation is spectacular. The people LOOK like people,the aliens LOOK like aliens (As far as I know) the sci fi backgrounds are rich with detail and finesse, and the movement is seamless. Shame this wasn't a painting, or it would be hanging up in the Louvre. The rest of the film is more fit for the loo... Being an unpalatable mix of a messy story, unlikable protagonists and a general air of being made by people who are trying to be a lot cooler than they actually are. On the plus side, it's only the SECOND worst film I've seen with the word Mars in the title. That 'honour' still belongs with Mission To Mars. It's a close run thing, though... 4/10

Kaspar Raave Wow, this is my first review. Not much of a review but... It came as a big surprise for me to see such a low rating for this movie. For me it was so profound and nicely done I've seen for a long time, at least in animation genre. I'm not gonna spoil it and just say that if you like adventure type movies you should watch it, its a pearl. And it teaches many aspects of life like how important is the love of your mother and how important is to value your family and this makes it a real good family movie, teaching children importance of this and that.Pretty often I come here to IMDb and read the reviews to decide whether to go and watch the movie or not, but this one? I think you should make an exception and not judge it by these ratings and reviews, just watch it, with your whole family, its fun, its a good laugh, very adventurous and even makes you cry :) Loved it!

anthony-rigoni To quote Mark Twain: "Suppose you watched a terrible movie called Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. And suppose you watched Mars Needs Moms. But, I repeat myself." Okay, okay, Mark Twain didn't say that. But, if he were alive today, he would've rest his case on how equally bad Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and this movie are. How is Mars Needs Moms different from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians? Let's take a look...1) Instead of kidnapping Santa Claus, the Martians kidnapped a young boy's mother for their planet. Stupid plot, isn't it? 2) It has an original song so bad that it makes the Garbage Pail Kids Song sound like Sugar Sugar by the Archies. 3) The acting is equally similar to Mac and Me: Really bad. But unlike Mac and Me, at least this movie doesn't advertise products like McDonald's and Skittles. 4) Nobody has put effort in the animation. Yeah, this movie makes the Magic Voyage, the Felix the cat Movie, and the Legend of Zelda CD-i video games look like the Toy Story Trilogy! Not even Joan Cusack(Best known for voicing Jessie in Toy Story 2 and 3) could save this movie from bombing the box office(I'm not kidding, this movie bombed the box office!). Mars doesn't need Moms. Mars was on Meds and so were the people behind this piece of coyote diarrhea!
