Based on the Sixties US TV series, is an old-style but hi-tech Disney movie with shades of E. T. and The Mask. It stars Christopher Lloyd as a Martian who lands up living with recently fired TV journalist Tim (Jeff Daniels) and posing as his uncle. Through his alien friend, Tim sees an opportunity to bag the biggest story of the year. Liz Hurley goes through the motions as a TV newscaster; Daryl Hannah is Tim's love interest. Not even as good as the TV series, this is a weak effort at comedy.
