Dire.
Top CriticWalston displays a crisp wit and blithe sense of whimsy otherwise lacking in this loser.
Travel from Mars to Earth is an amazing feat, but not much more remarkable than reviving a sitcom that had been dead for a third of a century.
A terrible movie -- beware.
There isn't enough nostalgia for the old series to recommend for any beyond the most juvenile mind-set.
An utterly pointless and unimaginative remake based on the classic '60s sitcom...a meteoric misfire
Only the total collapse of Hollywood can save us from a reprise of My Mother the Car.
