Ratings and reviews

When this came out people laughed saying old people can't be astronauts. Then just after this films release a bloke in his 80's whent up into space. The idiots laughed no more. They belated like the rest of the sheep. Anyway I saw this at the cinema on release its a great film staring some true legends I loved it...

I loved this film, it was good to see all the good old guys with great acting, very good humour and a believable story. I thought the whole story and the ending was a true look at getting old and the issues associated with it.

Average film. Nothing brilliant.
