Texan Charles Farmer left the Air Force as a young man to save the family ranch when his dad died. Like most American ranchers, he owes his bank. Unlike most, he's an astrophysicist with a rocket in his barn - one he's built and wants to take into space. It's his dream. The FBI puts him under surveillance when he tries to buy rocket fuel; the FAA stalls him when he files a flight plan - it's post-9/11, after all. His wife is angry when she finds out their bank is initiating foreclosure. Charlie fears failure and decides, precipitously, to launch. Are twenty-first century American dreams just a sign of insanity? Are those who believe in dreamers only fools?
Leave your thoughts about The Astronaut Farmer.
| Film Journal InternationalEthan AlterHas a scrappy charm that's hard to completely resist. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiA wise, weird and wonderful indie film that is chock-full of quirky characters, intriguing situations and sly social satire. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chasechallenges the status quo with a gentle but insistent nudge, celebrating personal freedom over the restraints of a big government that answers to no one. It's quintessentially American and quintessentially enchanting |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonThe rare film that can make you question your own sanity, but The Astronaut Farmer is so lacking in plausibility, explanation, motivation and physical science that you start to ask: Is it me? Rest assured: It's them. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinCharlie Farmer is not so sunny that he doesn't carry a bit of menace with him - in the end he may be closer to Lonesome Rhodes than Sheriff Andy Taylor. This freak is going to be lighting something up - might as well be a rocket. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerSome movies are so flagrantly awful that they achieve classic status. To this rarefied company we must now add The Astronaut Farmer. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikSure, characters spout inspirational lines left and right, but its warm, cozy, and sometimes renegade vibe is utterly contagious. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinThe Astronaut Farmer's goofy quality makes it totally endearing. It's also super entertaining. Critics are fond of referring to movies as a "great ride." With this one, the words couldn't be more apt. |
| Orlando WeeklyJohn ThomasonComing off like Horatio Alger in a spacesuit, The Astronaut Farmer is anachronistic in a refreshing way, echoing the persistent can-do industriousness of classic Americana, where working hard to achieve your goal is all that matters. |
| UGOBrian TallericoThe Astronaut Farmer just drifts off into space. |
