The Astronaut Farmer Ratings & Reviews

  • Mister ArnMay 16, 2025
    "The Astronaut Farmer" tugs at the heartstrings with a rather assertive touch, inviting viewers to loosen their grip on reality to find enjoyment. Due to its wildly fanciful premise, embracing the film's charm may require a considerable leap of imagination.
  • James KearneyJanuary 31, 2025
    A good family drama about a man and his dreams. Dreams can come true.
  • PlexCannonJanuary 28, 2025
    It's so hilariously bad, give her a watch
