erikacunanan29 MORE REVIEWS AT booksequalhappiness.blogspot.comMy boyfriend made me watch this and I really loved it. Even though it is an old movie, this is the first time that I watched it. It was so fun. Fred's quirkiness made me laugh out loud so many times. He was obnoxious at times but he was also endearing. I enjoyed how ignorant he was to what he was doing and he just wanted to be himself. He was weird in a fun way and I loved seeing him fulfill his dreams.
Python Hyena Rocket Man (1997): Dir: Stuart Gillard / Cast: Harland Williams, Jessica Lundy, Beau Bridges, William Sadler, Jeffrey DeMunn: Pitiful piece of nothing that seems to test the limits of low quality filmmaking. It regards reaching your dreams as Harland Williams receives opportunity to launch into space. It is really that simple. We know that Williams will make a big name for himself in space while families sucker out the bucks so that their children can witness the crap. Stuart Gillard's directing is awful and I have seen better art out of lego than the production values featured here. Williams gets to act like a mindless idiot throughout the entire film. We have seen his situation in countless films where the little guy must prove himself. Well, he fails to prove anything other than he has too much time on his hands. Jessica Lundy is featured as the love interest who must be proud to be caught on camera with a moron astronaut. Also featured much to their regret are Beau Bridges and William Sadler, and one wonders if they will regret it later or laugh it off as a bad joke. Either way it is a big bad rocket blast fart that will stench up their resumes until something decent comes up to distract from it. Somebody should flush thus idiotic excuse for a family film down a toilet. Advertisements claim that "He's just taking up space." A garbage bin has lots of room for trash like Rocket Man. Score: 1 / 10
Threque Most every bad comment I've read on here is from people who watch WAY too many movies. Let's think about the movie for a second, shall we? It was made in 1997--that's before Windows 98 even came out, so of course the special effects are going to be lacking. And secondly, it's not an obscenely extreme comedy like you see today, like Talladega Nights, now THAT movie was just plain ridiculous. This has a lot of innocent light comedy that the main actor delivers beautifully, hence why it is a Disney movie. So, for all of you who thought Saw III was actually a movie, or even a good one, I think you need to join the army and head out to the front lines...you know, make yourself useful for a change.
greatfavor I came across this movie while TV surfing, and kept trying to move on but I couldn't. It is wonderful how awful it is! It is definitely one of the silliest movies I have ever seen, silly to the point of stupidity, and I can't remember when I have enjoyed myself more. While I kept telling myself I was too old (and refined) to be as amused as I was, I couldn't stop laughing.If you can sit through it without giggling, someone should check you for a pulse!
