Review of The Astronaut Farmer (2007) by Tånya R — 17 Jul 2009
Very nicely done, good clean fun for the whole family...well, if the kids don't get restless.
Yawn...I knew what this was going into it and it's fine for what it was meant to be, but my goodness, this would have been a better 60 minute After School Special.
Trying to get a feature length motion picture out of this idea made for a bit of an endurance contest in patience. I was so uninterested in seeing Farmer squabble with his wife, in exploring the central characters' hopes and dreams, etc. Just get in the darn rocket already!
On the plus side, there was no rap music, sex, violence, or anything you wish you could unsee, as in something like BORAT.
