Film Synopsis:
Take out the trash, eat your broccoli — who needs moms anyway?
Nine-year-old Milo (Seth Green) finds out how much he needs his
mom (Joan Cusack) when she's nabbed by Martians who plan to
steal her mom-ness for their own young. In a race against time
and oxygen, his quest to save her knows no bounds. And with some
unexpected help, Milo just might find his way back to her — in
more ways than one.
