Trailer For Cusack's Martian Child

The John Cusack movie I’m most looking forward to this year is 1408, but he’s got others. The most sappy of the bunch is probably The Martian Child, which seems kind of like a completely unfunny version of Adam Sandler’s Big Daddy. I guess that makes them exactly the same movie.

The Martian Child is a romantic drama in which Cusack plays a recently widowed science fiction writer who adopts a boy in a box. The boy is in a box, because he claims to be from Mars. Actually, I guess that makes this more like K-Pax, than Big Daddy, doesn’t it?

The first trailer for The Martian Child is here, and it’s sweet and heartwarming and all those gooey things. It might be alright. Watch the first trailer by clicking here.
