I was invested enough to watch it through to the end but it got less and less enjoyable as time went on. THE CAST: Billy Bob Thornton as Charles Farmer... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~445407202948 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 00:12:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_445407202948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423994494596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JediKermit - Call me a sucker, but there's something about the family-themed, tug-at-the-heartstrings schmaltzy movies that always gets me. And even though sometimes that means that the movies become predictable in terms of plot, or limited in terms of scope, they... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423994494596 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 09:41:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423994494596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_408287219332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dreamers4life - Great story of Dream, Struggle, and Then the Prize. It is a very fun movie that has a lot of great reminders about how important it is for us to keep living our Dreams! Good for the whole family!... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~408287219332 Thu, 22 Nov 2007 14:38:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_408287219332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_345125916292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bilavideo - Toward the end of the film, my wife - who had dragged me there, kicking and screaming - asked me if I thought it had been based on a true story. In Hollywood, anything can be "based" on a true story, if not "inspired" by one - but the tip-off for me was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~345125916292 Sun, 8 Apr 2007 04:18:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_345125916292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_329675673220?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Ed.Williamson - Sounds like an interesting idea. Some ordinary person wants to go up into space and be an astronaut. The government won&#146t let him ride on a shuttle, so he decides to buy a bunch of surplus military parts, build his own rocket, and go up into space on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~329675673220 Wed, 7 Mar 2007 14:06:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_329675673220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_329077984900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author eyecandy007 - Texas rancher Charles Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton) was once a NASA hopeful who quit when tragedy struck his family. Now his only chance to get into space is to do it himself. Blessedly, the Polishes avoid the typical origin setup that most movies of this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~329077984900 Tue, 6 Mar 2007 16:04:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_329077984900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_328420003460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kentmom - First and foremost, The Astronaut Farmer is an excellent story. The protagonist is good, but flawed; his quest is significant; the odds are stacked against him (and so is the US Government) and yet, we root for him. Out loud, maybe. (I did.)

Unlike most folks who dream of space, though, Farmer is working to make his dream come true. Trained as an aerospace engineer and a former test pilot, he's certainly got the necessary background. He's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~327647071876 Sat, 3 Mar 2007 09:10:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_327647071876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_326554062468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author craivios - I really enjoy Billy Bob Thorton movies and was driven to see this film because of the trailers. The whole movie is based on living out what seems to be an impossible dream. For this, I give it 5 stars. The problem I had was that the entire scheme... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~326554062468 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:25:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_326554062468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_324112060036?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author garethvk - Charles Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton) is a man with a dream. Unlike some men, he does not dream of wealth, fame, or material goods, instead he dreams simply of traveling into space. While to most who share Charles’s dream would be resigned to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~324112060036 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 12:28:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_324112060036?linkin_id=8003929
