Space Cadet

Not every movie is destined for an Academy award. Many of those movies, are ones that I have never seen and/or was very disappointed when I did watch one. Sometimes it's fun just to have a movie that makes you smile and laugh and walk away Feeling good. I say, what is wrong with that?

This one did just that for me, and I think anyone that watches it, going into it with the same thought that I had, will enjoy it as well. The cast seem to very well together and yes, it may seem very unlikely that any of this could happen, is that not what movies are, to take us to places of dreams and just make us forget about all of the bad things that might be happening in the world, especially today.

This starts out as a story of what might have been if you made every right choice, took every right chance in your life. And if you could grab that opportunity but you had to bend the rules a wee bit... would you succeed?

It's warm and fuzzy and yes, a totally bonkers plot.

But if you look past that it's also a story about friendship, courage and never giving up on your dreams... or yourself.

Roberts is so lovable in this, you can't help but root for her. Her redemption arc is obviously as far fetched as they come but it's still so entertaining. Hopper and Union perform really well as the strait laced duo against Roberts more free living character.

I liked it for what it was. Goofy, implausible, escapism.

Uneducated-bartender child turns out to be one of the best prospects on the "AsCans" (astronaut cadet) group ... because she took a chance on herself and life.

Sadly, this feels cheap and uninteresting, with a lot of uninspiring dialogue and forgettable moments. With a throwaway romance with an awkward fellow, expected and forced low-point caused by revelations and truths. Not even the cast is good! Probably due to the overly-quirky characters they were assigned and the awful script. And Emma Roberts, who remains cute and charming, is a terrible fit for this leading role.. The movie does seem to have a core and a message, but it is so tepid, it doesn't really reach the viewer.

All in all, they didn't even try to make this worth anyone's time.. and the more I think about it, the lower the score goes.

"Space Cadet" is a Comedy movie in which we watch a party girl entering the NASA space program without having the right qualifications but trying her best in order to succeed.

I enjoyed this movie despite its crazy plot. It had plenty of funny moments and both the direction and writing which were made by Liz W. Garcia were simple but good enough to make it interesting and enjoyable. The interpretation of Emma Roberts who played as Rex Simpson was simply hilarious and she did a great job. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Poppy Liu's who played as Nadine Cai, Tom Hopper's who played as Logan O'Leary and Desi Lydic's who played as Dr. Stacy Kellogg. To sum up, I have to say that "Space Cadet" is a nice comedy and I am sure you will laugh and have a great time watching it.

Emma Roberts must be desperate for roles. This movie was just horrible. Rex (really?) is a bartender in Florida that applies to NASA, though, without her knowing, her friend makes up a whole bunch of lies for her to get into NASA. Here is the problem with that... does anyone think that NASA doesn't check people out BEFORE inviting them?

The entire movie was unusually cheap. They clearly didn't have NASA's permission so a cheap logo was used. Most of the things that her fellow trainees did looked cheap and like a soundstage and in the end, they wanted me to believe that they would give a plane to someone to fly that they hadn't checked out yet?

It just really had nothing going for it.
