ASTRONAUT FARMER, THE(2006)
This is not Bruce Willis' movie, it's Billy Bob Thornton's!
Billy as usual does a great job and this is a very engaging
movie, even if totally implausable!! A great family movie and
worth a watch or two at least!! A-
From IMDb.com:
'The Astronaut Farmer' is completely corny and wildly implausible
to boot, but I still liked it. Billy Bob Thornton does well as an
ex-astronaut who builds a rocket in his barn(!) This may sound
like the perfect recipe for a comedy but, the film is utterly
serious. Children will love its message about striving hard to
follow one's dreams. It's a well-worn message but still manages
to work although a HUGE suspension of disbelief is necessary.
JK Simmons excels in a brief role while Bruce Willis has a cameo.
The film is a bit slow and slightly overlong, but worth watching.
Overall 7/10 - long-ford
