2/5 Rather Lame Flick If You Ask Me
  by Daniel Hayes
I found this to be rather lame what with the long and boring beginning, and I also found it to be very unfunny. I actually tried to make out with my fiance during this movie it was so terrible. I think the plot was good, but the direction, and the performances were rather lackluster. I just don't feel that Eastwood is cut out to do comedies. "City Heat", "Every Which Way But Loose", and "Any Which Way You Can" are the 3 worst Eastwood films that he ever did, and they all have one thing in common; they are all comedies. I got in bad with my fiance for wanting to make out with her, but I told her I really didn't want to watch this movie. I feel the reason for this film was because of the fact that it was during the time that John Glenn went back up into space in his 70's. James Garner was 72, Eastwood had just turned 70, Sutherland was 66, and Jones was 54. I just think that this was a waste of money, and time. The ending I couldn't figure out at all, and I regret having said to my fiance that we could watch this with her girlfriend, and her husband.

3/5 Actors Take Center Stage
  by Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
This was a pretty enjoyable tale of "The Ripe Stuff," as one early reviewer put it: four old geezers going up into space to help save a project they had a hand in years ago.

It's pretty long at 130 minutes but the four diverse characters help keep your interest. Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and James Garner are quite a foursome. Add Marcia Gay Harden to the mix, along with Loren Dean, Courtney Vance and James Cromwell and you have a fabulous cast.

This is a drama but one in which there is a fair amount of comedy and some romance. There are some Hollywood clichés (a suspect boss, arguing pals going back-and-forth all the time, a weak minister, etc.) but they aren't as blatant as usual.

The storytelling is pretty good but the real show here is not the story but that group of veteran actors. One joke was overplayed: Sutherland and the size of genitals. Not real classy stuff but, overall, the movie is fine.

Space Cowboys Summary Clint Eastwood Teams Up With Some Old Friends To Make Space Cowboys, A Rollicking Motion Picture That Wraps Action, Comedy, And Science Fiction Into One Neat Package. Eastwood Plays Frank Corvin, A Former Air Force Pilot Who Was Shunned From Flying Into Space In 1958 After Nasa Was Created. Forty Years Later, When A Russian Satellite Appears To Be Headed For A Collision With Earth, Corvin Finally Gets His Chance. He Bribes His Arch Rival Bob Gerson (james Cromwell) Into Letting His Team Go Into Space To Repair The Satellite, On The Condition That They Pass The Physical. However, Passing The Physical Isn't So Easy For Aging Veterans Jerry O'neil (donald Sutherland), Tank Sullivan (james Garner), And Hawk Hawkins (tommy Lee Jones), Who, While Still Mentally Sharp, Aren't In The Best Of Physical Shape. Nonetheless, They Manage To Fill All The Requirements. Ignoring The Two Cocky Upstarts Who Have Been Sent Along To Back Them Up, The Old-timers Blast Off And Head Straight For The Satellite. But When They Get There, The Realization That The Satellite Is Actually Carrying Six Nuclear Warheads Changes The Course Of The Mission, Endangering The Lives Of The Astronauts As Well As The Citizens Of America. With Exceptional Special Effects And A Breezy Tone, Space Cowboys Is One Of Eastwood's Most Entertaining Films To Date.

This slice of cornball Americana is so much fun you'll be tempted to stand up and salute. Director and costar Clint Eastwood manages to turn what might have been ludicrous into a jubilant tribute to age and experience, and Space Cowboys succeeds as two movies in one--a comedy about retired pilots given one last shot at glory and an Apollo 13-like thriller with all the requisite heroics. With a dream cast of Hollywood vets playing old farts described in tabloids as "The Ripe Stuff," the movie jumps from a 1958 prologue (establishing their lost bid for space travel) to 40-plus years later, when the retired Air Force aces (Eastwood, James Garner, Donald Sutherland, Tommy Lee Jones) volunteer to rescue a falling Russian satellite that only Eastwood's character can repair.

It turns out that Russky bird is a cold war leftover equipped with live nuclear warheads, and Space Cowboys revs up to a rousing climax in which our heroes prove their mettle. But first the comedy: watching these codgers struggle to pass NASA's physical tests is a total hoot, with running gags about wrinkles, dentures, and oysters for sagging libidos. (Sutherland is the scene-stealer, but they're all having a blast.) Once in space, the movie gets down to business, and the visual-effects wizards at Industrial Light and Magic provide stunning vistas from Earth's orbit; a shot looking down at the boot of Italy is particularly beautiful. A subplot involving a weasely NASA administrator (James Cromwell) is rather perfunctory, but it hardly matters. Space Cowboys earns its wings, once again demonstrating Eastwood's comfort with any genre he chooses. --Jeff Shannon
