Space Cadet

Uneducated-bartender child turns out to be one of the best prospects on the "AsCans" (astronaut cadet) group ... because she took a chance on herself and life.

Sadly, this feels cheap and uninteresting, with a lot of uninspiring dialogue and forgettable moments. With a throwaway romance with an awkward fellow, expected and forced low-point caused by revelations and truths. Not even the cast is good! Probably due to the overly-quirky characters they were assigned and the awful script. And Emma Roberts, who remains cute and charming, is a terrible fit for this leading role.. The movie does seem to have a core and a message, but it is so tepid, it doesn't really reach the viewer.

All in all, they didn't even try to make this worth anyone's time.. and the more I think about it, the lower the score goes.

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.

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.

Not every movie is destined for an Academy award. Many of those movies, are ones that I have never seen and/or was very disappointed when I did watch one. Sometimes it's fun just to have a movie that makes you smile and laugh and walk away Feeling good. I say, what is wrong with that?

This one did just that for me, and I think anyone that watches it, going into it with the same thought that I had, will enjoy it as well. The cast seem to very well together and yes, it may seem very unlikely that any of this could happen, is that not what movies are, to take us to places of dreams and just make us forget about all of the bad things that might be happening in the world, especially today.
