Space Cadet

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.

Florida bartender Rex Simpson (Emma Roberts) had always dreamed of being an astronaut. She didn't go to college in order to care for her dying mother and then her heart-broken father. After attending her ten year high school reunion, she comes to the conclusion that she's wasting her life and applies to NASA.

This is trying to be Legally Blonde with NASA. It's dumb, but it's not dumb enough to be ridiculously fun. It's also not smart enough to be any good. First, Rex needs to show her superior intellect despite her lack of education. See Good Will Hunting. My suggestion would be for her to work on their haunted house with her dad being helpless. It's already problematic with her lying. It's really problematic for her to fly the plane and endangering Elvis. I guess they really wanted Emma Roberts doing some girly screaming. My second suggestion is the G-force simulator. She can scream there. This seems to be aiming for those dumb 80's comedies and it's not that far off.

"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.

This movie is very below average. The premise is that the main character Rex is very smart but did not go to college so now works at a bar. She sees a successful person from her past and that gives her motivation to finally follow her dreams and become an astronaut. She wrote an application then her friend changed it to make it seem like she qualified so she would get in once she does the movie starts. The main point of this is the comedy and the jokes were poor. I laughed one time which was at the treadmill scene. I don't know if the acting is terrible or if the directing is to blame but either way I don't like it to add on that the lines are stupid. Everything that happens from beginning until the end is totally illogical and generally stupid. Lastly the pacing sucks. The only reason I gave this a 5 star rating is because it was entertaining enough.
