    • Trivia
      The outdoor set of Tim's apartment (with the exterior right-angled staircase) is almost exactly the set from My Favorite Martian (1963).
    • Goofs
      When Martin is drinking the liquid from the lava lamp, it is clear that he is actually pouring it over his shoulder and not in his mouth.
    • Quotes

      Uncle Martin: You Earthlings don't know how lucky you are. The only water we get on Mars has to be squeezed from rocks.

    All computer F/X and no comedy!
    Boy, I can hear those producers right now: "That's great, a movie-version of My Favorite Martian... That calls for computer FX! Get me those CGI-people!"

    The writers: "Well, we were hoping that the story..."

    The Producers: "Yes, yes, yes! But enough with the story, GET ME COMPUTER FX!!! GOTTA HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF FX!!! KIDS WILL LOVE IT!!!"

    And thus yet another charming 60's TV-show was mutilated by Hollywood.

    This movie version is so loaded with pointless F/X they left no room for a story, not to mention comedy! All though Jeff Daniels and Christopher Lloyd try their best the story just ISN'T FUNNY. Not to mention that dreadful ZOOT-character voiced by Wayne Knight: it ranks as one of the most annoying film characters off all time, alongside the infamous Jar Jar Binks.

    One plus worth mentioning: the star of the original show, Ray Walston, turns up and he is in surprisingly good form.
