No, this is no Apollo 13. The trailers, thought, hinted on what it was, a excellent feel-good movie. Some parts were cheesy...but overall the message of keeping dreams alive comes in loud and clear. Every once in a while we need... Full review

I really enjoyed watching this movie, its amazing how many people diss the movie about how hard it is to build a rocket and launch into space, I bet they would not know how to themselves. But the acting was good,... Full review

Other than that, this movie was decent, but you if someone asked me about this movie in a year or two from now, I probably wouldn't remember it. This is suitable for kids ages 5 and up, but the material in the film seems to be aimed at a mature audience. ... Full Review

All told, however, "The Astronaut Farmer" is worth watching not for the technicals of the story, but for the characters which inhabit it, from the leads on down to the folks who only have bit parts as store clerks, fast food workers, and law enforcement. ... Full Review

Final Thoughts: The Astronaut Farmer was a lame flick for me since I was expecting something more in tune with the realities of space flight and got the tear jerker movie of the week instead. In the make believe world of The Astronaut Farmer though, this simply causes Charlie to launch prematurely to disastrous results, though no one is hurt but Charlie (part of the fantasy forces the movie to keep the hope alive). ...

And while this comparison isn't exactly fair, The Astronaut Farmer will hopefully not destroy their rising dreams, which unlike those of Charles Farmer aren't really dangerous or destructive. Fun film. I loved this movie. ... Full Review
