This made me sick to my stomach. Extremely thin plot – so, a farmer wants to go into space….he seems to care more about this than he does his loved ones….and that about does it. The rest is ridiculous cliche small-town cheese & a handful of characters with no dimension that make up “the family”. The government “baddies” are cartoonish overdone stereotypes, and with lines like “Without the Rocket, we’re just a dysfunctional family!” one could imagine how unpleasant The Astronaut Farmer is…and therefore would find no reason to sit through it.
