About this movie

Blast off for outrageously funny space travel in this screwball comedy that spins wildly out of control all the way to Mars! Though he's a wiz with computers, accident-prone astro-nut Fred Randall (Harland Williams) is the last guy on Earth you'd want on the first manned mission to Mars. But as bad luck and poor timing would have it, that's exactly what happens, and Fred undergoes rigorous, if not hilarious, training at NASA. After that it's t-minus a reality check as Fred blasts off with the rest of the space shuttle crew: a cocky, no-nonsense Commander, a sexy Mission Specialist, and a mischievous space chimp named Ulysses. From the dizzying preflight foolishness to the even loonier landing, ROCKETMAN is the out-of-this-world comedy that's more than go for launch ... it's go for laughs!

Ratings and reviews

The dumbest space movie I ever seen yet very enjoyable. If you liked movies like Dumb and Dumber or Major Payne then you'll enjoy this one as well. If not, move on.

This has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid and still is! Very innocent, very light hearted and family friendly. Sometimes all we need is silliness. Give this movie a shot.

This film is a rarity. Aside from a pair of brief gastrointestinal moments, this movie is completely innocent in nature, and safe for families of all ages. Yet the film is truly hilarious. Harland Willams was made for this kind of Disney comedy, and he delivered his best work ever here. I would recommend this movie to anyone and any family, no matter what age group.
