When you think of Mars, what comes to mind? Probably not mom-napping aliens. Mars Needs Moms is a cute and charming movie that everyone should go watch with their little brothers or sisters.

Nine-year-old Milo is what you'd call a handful. He always seems to find his way into trouble... and leaves mom to clean up the mess. After getting mad and saying some hurtful things, he realizes that he should appreciate his mom and goes to apologize, only to find his mom being taken away in a spaceship! Somehow, he manages to sneak his way inside and is shocked to find out this shuttles destination: Mars. 

One event leads to another and Milo meets Gribble, a strange human with a knack for inventions, who tells him horrible news: if Milo doesn't get to his mom by sunrise, she'll be dust! They set out to perform a rescue mission, meet some interesting characters along the way, and stumble their way through the adventure of a lifetime. 

This movie is great for a laugh and teaches a lesson about the importance of family. A tear-jerker at times, it will make you appreciate your parents a lot more. You'll also be in awe at the amazing 3-D motion capture graphics that make everything look stunning. This heartwarming, quirky film is a definite must see.
