I am The Powers of Matthew Star


Reminds me a lot of "The Powers of Matthew Star" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083467/.
Just saying.

I thought I was the only person in the world who saw the similarities (before I had even seen "I am......" and had read the synopsis).

Damn, I'm not as special as I thought I was, lol.

i was thinking the same thing!

i was a young lad back when it was on the air~
maybe that's why i liked it back in the 80s

Already said many times around this film's production.

People have long since pointed out the similarity in the premise to that short-lived TV show from decades past and this movie and its source material.

What's your point exactly? Just because this concept of an alien teen hiding among human beings has been done before, it doesn't make this movie unoriginal.
