RocketMan Ratings & Reviews

    I used to think this movie was the funniest thing ever when I was a kid. Watching it now years later… yeah, it definitely hits different lol. A lot of the humor is super goofy and kinda obnoxious at times, but I can’t even lie, I still had some fun with it. It’s the type of movie that knows exactly how dumb it is and just runs with it. Not everything works, and some scenes drag pretty hard, but there’s enough weird energy and charm to keep it watchable. Feels like pure late-90s chaos in movie form.

    They clearly gave Harland some room to make the role his own, and that's a good thing there, Pumpernickel Pete.

    Great family flick, good for a laugh.

    Not the unassailable comedic masterpiece I remembered in my head, but still pretty fun. My kids had a good time with it too.

    It's a fun movie with dated humour but still a fun family movie to enjoy
