Astronaut Farmer, The

Aroview: Billy Bob Thornton plays a little guy with a big dream - an ex-NASA employee who builds his own space-rocket - in this warm and hokey down-home inspirational tale from the Polish brothers.

A much gentler film from the pair (TWIN FALLS ON IDAHO) who unashamedly have made a feel-good, but genuine, family film. Thornton shines, and convincingly portrays a man with the simple but admirable philosophies of loving his family and never giving up on his dreams.
