Released: 2011
Genre(s): Animation, Action, Adventure
If you like your kids' movies heavy on the special effects and light on the storytelling, then "Mars Needs Moms" will be perfect. The animation is beautiful, there are plenty of chuckle-worthy moments, action sequences abound, and it's filled to the brim with feel-good, family morals. The problem isn't with the presentation of this movie - it's with the fact that the story is just so paper-thin and lackluster that it lacks any real sense of urgency or purpose. While other movies in this genre really get you to emotionally invest in what's happening, "Mars Needs Moms" manages to fabricate a story that's passable at best. Still heart-warming enough to warrant at least a watch, especially if you've got little ones who enjoy flashy effects.
Rating (out of 5): 3
