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.
