If all this is supposed to be so life-affirming, how come I envied the dead dog?

rotten:
Martian Child wants to make us cry. It nearly made me gag. This is an exercise in shameless and inept emotional manipulation.

Has enough wit and unpredictability to hold your attention.

Everybody is very earnest, too earnest.
