I watch lots and lots of movies and normally I wouldn't bore you with my feelings on a movie, but this one was special!

I love Billy Bob (he's a nut) and this movie had me jumping up and down and harrahing all over the place. I love movies that make me feel good.

It just came out on DVD (where I see most of my movies) and I hope you get to see it.

Moondog (hubby) says "A 10 in the Moondog ratings"

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, do. Highly recommended.

Love, Annamill

ratz! I'd heard of this,thought it would be good, but when you posted I was actually hoping for a version of Hienlien's 'Farmer in the sky'

I figured this to be a thread about Neil Armstrong who maintains his farm down in Lebanon, Ohio and out of the public eye as much as possible.

I saw this movie when it was in the theatre. It was good, but is definitely a "feel good" movie (meaning I didn't think it had much substance). I was thrilled to see Bruce Willis (hottie!) in his little unadvertised role.

Hi Kat! You're rightr Becca72, it was farfetched, but I have always wanted to travel into space (remember calling it "outer space"). I love science fiction. I guess this was an extention of those dreams, ya know what I mean. Well, anyway, I loved it. And yes, it was a "feel good" movie.

Love, Annamill

I did enjoy it, too, Annamill. Billy Bob does a wonderful job in every role he takes on

I'm confused... a sheep farmer farms sheep. A dairy farmer farms dairy herds.. does an Astronaut farmer grow astronauts?

This one has so far managed to bypass the UK - unless you've attended a film with a greater than 12a rating recently!

I saw it last night until 1 AM. Good casting and balance between humor and drama. Although the humor was a bit better than the drama it is not a comedy since they went for a more stark feel of realism of a farmland community.

Too bad my kids were asleep before the first launch.
