I actually found this movie pretty funny when it came out, but now after watching it on HBO for the first time in years, I must say that it has one helluva cast. I can't even begin to name how many solid actors and actresses are in this movie, it's insane.

Anyone know the production cost of the movie and how much it grossed?

The cast had me at Natalie.

Great cast, great movie.

I love Mars Attacks. One of Burton's most enjoyable flicks. I think it's funny that lesser-known cast members at the time, such as Natalie Portman and Jack Black, have blown up into huge stars.

Who could possibly dislike a movie where Jack Nicholson as the president says "Yikes"?

I always thought it was a fun movie. Not some great film, but just enjoyable.

Salma Hayek was nice.

This might be the only Tim Burton movie that I liked...just good, cheesey fun with a cast that's pretty ridiculous.

No, well not really, he did the voices in Stuart Little 1 and 2 and the Disney Atlantis movie.
