  • Editorial Review:
    In 1958, the members of Team Daedalus, a group of top Air Force test pilots, were ready to serve their country as the first Americans in space but were pushed aside. Now, as a Russian satellite fails and is about to crash into earth, Team Daedalus is back in action in a rescue mission.

    Description of Space Cowboys [Blu-ray]:
    This slice of cornball Americana is so much fun you'll be tempted to stand up and salute. Director and costar Clint Eastwood manages to turn what might have been ludicrous into a jubilant tribute to age and experience, and Space Cowboys succeeds as two movies in one--a comedy about retired pilots given one last shot at glory and an Apollo 13-like thriller with all the requisite heroics. With a dream cast of Hollywood vets playing old farts described in tabloids as "The Ripe Stuff," the movie jumps from a 1958 prologue (establishing their lost bid for space travel) to 40-plus years later, when the retired Air Force aces (Eastwood, James Garner, Donald Sutherland, Tommy Lee Jones) volunteer to rescue a falling Russian satellite that only Eastwood's character can repair.

    It turns out that Russky bird is a cold war leftover equipped with live nuclear warheads, and Space Cowboys revs up to a rousing climax in which our heroes prove their mettle. But first the comedy: watching these codgers struggle to pass NASA's physical tests is a total hoot, with running gags about wrinkles, dentures, and oysters for sagging libidos. (Sutherland is the scene-stealer, but they're all having a blast.) Once in space, the movie gets down to business, and the visual-effects wizards at Industrial Light and Magic provide stunning vistas from Earth's orbit; a shot looking down at the boot of Italy is particularly beautiful. A subplot involving a weasely NASA administrator (James Cromwell) is rather perfunctory, but it hardly matters. Space Cowboys earns its wings, once again demonstrating Eastwood's comfort with any genre he chooses. --Jeff Shannon

    Rather Lame Flick If You Ask Me 2 Star Review
    2009-08-16 - I found this to be rather lame what with the long and boring beginning, and I also found it to be very unfunny. I actually tried to make out with my fiance during this movie it was so terrible. I think the plot was good, but the direction, and the performances were rather lackluster. I just don't feel that Eastwood is cut out to do comedies. "City Heat", "Every Which Way But Loose", and "Any Which Way You Can" are the 3 worst Eastwood films that he ever did, and they all have one thing in common; they are all comedies. I got in bad with my fiance for wanting to make out with her, but I told her I really didn't want to watch this movie. I feel the reason for this film was because of the fact that it was during the time that John Glenn went back up into space in his 70's. James Garner was 72, Eastwood had just turned 70, Sutherland was 66, and Jones was 54. I just think that this was a waste of money, and time. The ending I couldn't figure out at all, and I regret having said to my fiance that we could watch this with her girlfriend, and her husband.
