My Favorite Martian (1999) *

Drected by Donald Petrie. With Jeff Daniels, Christopher Lloyd and Elizabeth Hurley. Mindless, boring and incoherent comedy about a visitor from Mars (Lloyd) befriending a TV reporter (Daniels). There is one exciting car chase that begins on the street, continues through a sewer pipe and ends inside a toilet bowl. It serves as a perfect metaphor for this abysmal kiddie fare, where low-brow humor rules, and any sign of intelligence is ruthlessly exterminated.
