Fred Z.Randall ist seit seiner frühen Kindheit von der Raumfahrt begeistert. Als Erwachsener ist er seinem Traum schon ein gutes Stück näher gekommen, denn er arbeitet als Programmierer für die NASA. Das Problem ist nur: Randall ist ein totaler Chaot und lässt kein Fettnäpfchen aus. Als er während einer Vorführung seiner Arbeit einen der Astronauten für die anstehende Marsmission so schwer verletzt, dass dieser absagen muss, kann Randall jedoch sein Glück kaum fassen. Ausgerechnet er soll den Astronauten ersetzen und so schickt die NASA ihren besten Mann zum Mars.

I like it, takes me back to when everything in life was simple :)
Oh... this movie. It's like a 12 years fever dream. Harland Williams' was always perfect for this role, but my God, I dont think I can take another viewing of this in the future. Stupid on childish levels some actors can only have nightmares about their careers turning into.
I, somewhat weirdly, have no negative feelings about 'RocketMan'. That's strange because the film is very bad, there is nothing I even marginally liked - and yet, I have no annoyance towards it. Odd. I think what helps in that regard is the short run time and the fact that I do believe the actors were trying, they were just lumbered with a poor product. Harland Williams plays the role of Fred as well as anyone could have to be honest, while it's nice to see Jeffrey DeMunn - shoutout Dale, 'The Walking Dead'. The way the premise is brought to life is the biggest downside to this. It's cringe, predictable and lamely written. The more serious space ending is OK but doesn't fit the rest of the film's silliness at all. There aren't many, if any, laughs; for me at least. I did kinda rate the references to other films, e.g. 'Wizard of Oz' and 'Pinocchio', but that's about it. A harmless film, one I truly don't even have an ounce of hate for despite how bad it actually is.
