The idea may be good, but the realization was terrible. The movie is full of clichés. You always know what will happen next. |

After seeing Billy Bob play a foul-mouthed Santa and drunken baseball coach, it's nice to see him portray a (somewhat) normal family man. You have to strain your credibility of the story, but it's an overall nice family film. |

This made me woozy. Extremely thin plot - so, a farmer wants to go into space....he seems to care more about this than he does his loved ones....and that about does it. The rest is ridiculous cliche small-town cheese & a handful of characters with no dimension that make up "the family". The government "baddies" are cartoonish overdone stereotypes, and with lines like "Without the Rocket, we're just a dysfunctional family!" one could imagine how unpleasant The Astronaut Farmer is...and therefore would find no reason to sit through it. |
