Actor Bobby Coleman began his career as a child star, appearing in a few small TV parts before making his big-screen debut opposite John Cusack and Diane Lane in Gary David Goldberg's #92;romantic comedy Must Love Dogs (2005). Coleman then signed for his first lead (and re-teamed with John Cusack) as the lead in the #92;comedy-fantasy Martian Child (2007). The picture concerns a young adoptee (Coleman) who attempts to persuade his incredulous foster dad (Cusack) that he hails from the planet Mars. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
