1.5/4

One small step for an unknown comic. One giant stumble for comedy-kind.

3/4

RocketMan is not inspired or brilliant or original, but it's the kind of movie that gives you a goofy grin half of the time.

A movie that should be sent to Mars - one way.

Despite a comic performance by Harland Williams, Disney's formulaic kiddie pic ``RocketMan'' doesn't have enough of the right stuff to make it a real blast.

I was stunned by how much I laughed at Harland Williams' juvenile antics in this silly little comedy.

So... the thing is, I watched this a few years ago and thought it was hilarious. But now, a few years later, I think back and wonder what I really found in this ridiculous movie.

Irresistible charm and zany humor make what could have turned typical into a surprising delight, with comedic duties shared between Williams's buffoonery and the straight-men supporters caught in the insanity. John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt never had it so good.
