The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Slapstick run amok is about the closest that human speech can come to describing this movie. As it careens in random directions, you scratch your head trying to figure out what's going on, and wondering if you missed something. It's worth a laugh, at least on the level of laughing at how amateurish and childish it is.The Pee Wee Herman look-alike act-alike screaming with that exaggerated shrill voice at cover-the-ears intensity reaches the pain threshold at times. His acting is fine, but the director has him going over the top way too often. At anything. Every scene.Here's the deal: a bumbling but gifted computer geek gets tapped to be on the first manned landing on Mars. Don't ask. With two other people and a chimp (no, really). The chimp mugs, and so does quasi-Pee-Wee. When he's not screeching that is. Pee Wee from the Mars lander gets the whole world to sing campfire songs: I'm surprised somebody didn't just shoot him down. More goofy stuff happens on the voyage, each joke dumber than the last.The likable cast makes the most of the low-brow material. This one's only popcorn filler stuff, though.

Okay, It's been 12 years since this movie came out. I was 4 when it was released. I first saw it on Disney Channel, and after that...I STILL CANT GET THE IMAGE OF HARLAND SCREAMING IN PAIN WHEN THE CHIMP BITES HIM! Rolling around in that office with the clearly stuffed monkey. In a regular movie this would be seen as cheesy and childish. OH NOT ROCKETMAN SIR, NO NOT THIS. I have seen a lot of Harland Williams movies: his older ones: Dumb and Dumber(C'mon give it here you pumpkin pie haircutted freak!) Half Baked(Oh you like popcorn don't'ya?Makes your teeth go,POPPOPaPOP!) even his creepier but funny uncredited role in Something About Mary (Why do 8 minute abs when there's 6 minute abs?!) Rocketman(Commander are you sure were heading towards planet earth it looks a lot like the sun! Don't question my authority you incompetent fool!AGAAHhhhhhaahahaha..mornin!) And of course Freddy got Fingered (his scream alone is hilarious: AAAAHUeueee!!!AAAAAHueeee!!!HEEEHAhhHEEHAahhAAAAAHuee!!!) Even his newer stuff Employee of the Month and hes got his new sketch movie Child wild But I think Rocketman is him at his best!

I could not stop laughing even hours later the movie was over. The natural innocence and ignorance (also a touch of genius) Harland Williams has shown in his character was simply superb. The movie has tons of jokes thrown at you and you simply cannot resist them. You have to be a little patient at the start of the movie. The reason for this is after seeing Harland william's Charlie Chaplin type acts at the start, you think it is going to be just another comedy movie. But then, when he gets a chance to be an astronaut you get a felling of "taken inside" the movie without your consciousness. The monkey and Harland Williams seat interchange inside the rocket and what all happens after that till the rocket lands is the ultimate comedy to relish. The climax too was a nerve wracking finish. It takes you to the edge of the seat when Harland just gets it right in taking the rocket back to the track thus avoiding a crash. The best thing is what he uses to fill in the gap for a missing wire. On a whole till date this is the Best Comedy movie i have ever seen in my life.

This film is about a silly man who gets to represent America on a space mission to land on Mars.The plot is really silly. The acting is so over the top. The punchline 'It wasn't me" is used to many times that it became so annoying. The jokes are not funny. The worst is that the props looks so fake. It can easily be seen that the space helmets are made of soft plastic. In one scene on Mars, the space helmets don't even have a glass shield on. I am sure the production budget of this film is even less than a typical B movie. I know this movie is aimed at young kids, but that is not an excuse for the movie being bad. This movie is an unfortunate embarrassment to the film studio's collection.
