What to Expect : Silly Sci-Fi animated movie that is more eye-candy than anything else. "Mars Needs Moms" is visually imaginative, but doesn't have a decent story to sustain the action and visuals. Kids probably won't mind, though and moms who are having trouble with their children might actually benefit from the movie's heart-warming message. Or not.
