Space Cowboys Reviews

Weak and saggy script meets predictable plot.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Problems are evident, and eminent, from a black-and-white flashback prologue in which four young men speak with old actors' voices. Yes, a man purportedly in peak physical condition sounds like a 70-year-old who's eaten bags of gravel daily for 30 years.

Grumpy Old Astronauts--or, rather, Grumpy Old Air Force Officers Who Get Sent into Space to Fix a Damaged Satellite.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

...an equivocal movie that can't seem to decide whether to play its ridiculous premise straight.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

It's tempting to pin a derisive label like Geezers in Space on this comedy-drama, but its veteran stars...make Space Cowboys hard to dislike.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Charm and personality are able to overwhelm the inherent silliness of the situation and the characters.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

Despite the poignancy of old age, the mood of the film is cheerful, sustained by the high spirits of the four veterans.

I hope a few more scripts for these old geezers are in the offing. Like the Lemmon-Matthau films, this one is just plain fun.

Like its stars, the movie may be a little creaky sometimes, but it suffers from no lack of attitude.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

one of the summer's most pleasant surprises, a solid "buddy picture" with a startlingly suspenseful last half-hour.

One advantage "Space Cowboys" has over "Armageddon" is that Eastwood is a more laconic director than Michael Bay. Then again, who isn't?

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Em alguns momentos, acaba lembrando excessivamente o competente Apollo 13, mas isso é mais uma virtude do que um defeito.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Where Armageddon merely strutted, Cowboys swaggers. What's the difference? Style.

Full Review | Original Score: B

Space Cowboys doesn't so much embrace high concept as get dragged behind it kicking and screaming.

Full Review | Original Score: C

It's a rare pleasure to watch four terrific actors having the time of their lives.

| Original Score: 3.5/5

Clint, for all his good intentions and graceful aging, is in danger of overstaying his welcome.

Full Review | Original Score: short

Like any self-respecting Olympia Dukakis movie, Space Cowboys knows its demographic and panders pathetically to them.

Full Review

If you're only going to see one average film this year, it's worth putting this one on the short list.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

It's light-years away from being an Eastwood classic, but it passes a likable two hours.

| Original Score: 7/10

the enjoyment is in watching old pros Eastwood, Jones, Garner, and Sutherland chew the fat and play off each other
