Rocketman

The Wrong Stuff! Take the most obnoxious elements of Pee-Wee Herman and Jim Carrey and you get Harland Williams, a stand-up comedian and failed sitcom star. If this comedy was meant to re-launch his career, then Houston, we really have a problem. Williams stars as Fred Z. Randall, an astronaut wannabe who, as a child, uses his mother's dryer to simulate space travel (a scene so irresponsible it nearly scuttles the movie). Fred grows up to be a disaster-prone NASA computer geek who stumbles his way onto the first manned flight to Mars. You will quickly get tired of his comic catchphrase uttered every time something goes amiss: "It wasn't me." Recommended only to those who think that passing gas through a space suit is out of this world comedy. (K. Lee Benson)
