COMMENTS
The film makes me cry at the scenes that the boy is really humiliated by the other children. He is very cute and smart, but he is humiliated as he is not like the others. He does not deserve these.
Martian child is funny and dramatic as well. You can see that the boy acts like he is not living on earth. He belongs to a different category. At the same time, you watch the writer's effort to survive the boy and he is succesfull in this job.

David: Why did they send you here? You know, the Martians?
Dennis: To join a family and to learn human beingness.
David: I do know, there's no one on this planet that loves Dennis anymore than I do.
David: I don't want to bring another kid into this world. But how do you argue against loving one that's already here?
