Randall, who, despite his conceptual smarts, can't quite hack it as an astronaut because of his clumsiness. But when the first manned mission to Mars is short a man, Fred springs into action, much to dismay of his chagrined fellow crew members, who endure Fred's interplanetary flatulence and sock puppet plays.

Reviews for Rocketman
I was stunned by how much I laughed at Harland Williams' juvenile antics in this silly little comedy.
A slickly produced, reasonably funny family film from the company that does it best.
could prove to be a real side-splitter for little boys under the age of 12 or for their bigger brothers, provided they have a blood-alcohol level of .12. No doubt the screenwriters used their best crayons to scribble down this yarn...
