Hey, is anyone gonna see this movie? I think it's lookin pretty EPIC! Cheesy, eh, maybe, totally unbeleivable, yeah, perhaps, but hey, it's an underdog story about someone who dared to be awesome, and that makes for a pretty good movie.

It looks interesting, but other than that I don't know if I'll go out of my way to watch it at this stage. I'll have to wait first for more reviews (both my internet users and professional critics) to see what they think of the movie.

No,it's about a FARMER who wants to go into space so he builds his own rocketship.
But the Feds don't like the fact that he's doing it so they try to stop him.And that was just from watching the ads on tv!
Billy Bob Thornton stars as the farmer,if I got it right.

It sounds quite similar to the BBC tv series: Rocketman. Although that was a farmer who wanted to send a rocket into space (without human occupants). He was always being caught or chased by the insurance companies etc who thought it was endangering lives. He was put in jail one time when they trialed the rocket and it burnt down a barn. Good times.

*Some how thinks of the Elton John song of the same name.*

Yeah, they had that song as the theme song for the series.

That song was used in a movie of the same name, too. Funny thing that the song isn't about going to space. XD
Anyways, yeah, I've seen the previews for this. It could be ok. Probably not something I'll see in theaters, though.

The movie "Rocketman" was freakin' hilarious.
This doesn't so, my friends.

This movie is supposed to be based on a true story.
I'll probably see it, because it looks like it will be funny and pretty "Feel Good". There was a line in the trailer I liked.
Interrigator guy: How do we know you're not building Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Farmer: Well, if I was building WMDs, you wouldn't be able to find them.
