Rocketman Details

In this sci-fi comedy, a computer genius finally gets his chance to be an astronaut, but turns out to be too eccentric for his Nasa colleagues, who are treated to a touch more slapstick chaos than they'd bargained for. This goofy comedy, aimed primarily at children, will succeed mostly with those younger viewers predisposed to humour of the flatulent variety. Harland Williams plays the misguided computer whizz, but the acting honours are stolen by William Sadler as Mission Commander “Wild Bill” Overbeck, who does a slow burn while Williams inadvertently spoils his dreams.
