ReelViews - James Berardinelli
The movie is pretty much what you might expect from a big-screen adaptation of a once-popular '60s TV series: good-natured, appealing, and sophomoric.

The New York Times - Lawrence Van Gelder
Travel from Mars to Earth is an amazing feat, but not much more remarkable than reviving a sitcom that had been dead for a third of a century.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
My Favorite Martian is slapstick and silliness, wild sight gags and a hyped-up acting style. The Marx Brothers would have been at home here. The movie is clever in its visuals, labored in its audios, and noisy enough to entertain kids.

San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
An intermittently pleasing children's film.

Variety - Joe Leydon
Martian is loud, busy and altogether pointless. Worse, it’s simply not as engaging as the show that inspired it.
