The Good, the Bad and the Man From Mars:

• Fans of Nicholas Sparks' movie adaptations might enjoy this, but if you don't fancy any of his style of films then this similar-in-vein story might not be for you.

• The premise seems promising but due to the predictable screenplay, it becomes another cheesy romantic tale dashed with some questionable sci-fi elements.

• Despite being partially sci-fi, the scientific explanations in the movie are sloppy, but the sentimentality and melodrama over takes that.

• Asa Butterfield has recently become one of the most sought-after teen actors with several huge projects, but this film does little to propel his acting talents, especially where the romance genre is concerned.

Trivia:

• The movie was previously titled "Out of This World".
