This starts out as a story of what might have been if you made every right choice, took every right chance in your life. And if you could grab that opportunity but you had to bend the rules a wee bit... would you succeed?
It's warm and fuzzy and yes, a totally bonkers plot.
But if you look past that it's also a story about friendship, courage and never giving up on your dreams... or yourself.
Roberts is so lovable in this, you can't help but root for her. Her redemption arc is obviously as far fetched as they come but it's still so entertaining. Hopper and Union perform really well as the strait laced duo against Roberts more free living character.
I liked it for what it was. Goofy, implausible, escapism.

What if you got a second chance at your life
Just a fun movie!
Not every movie is destined for an Academy award. Many of those movies, are ones that I have never seen and/or was very disappointed when I did watch one. Sometimes it's fun just to have a movie that makes you smile and laugh and walk away Feeling good. I say, what is wrong with that?
This one did just that for me, and I think anyone that watches it, going into it with the same thought that I had, will enjoy it as well. The cast seem to very well together and yes, it may seem very unlikely that any of this could happen, is that not what movies are, to take us to places of dreams and just make us forget about all of the bad things that might be happening in the world, especially today.
Formulaic fun
There is nothing new here but this is a perfectly watchable fun paint by numbers Rom com with Emma Roberts in the lead showing that if it was an actress of lesser quality it would probably be unwatchable. Her charm is part of appeal same can't be said for the leading man it's hard to believe in most scenes he's actually English I had to look it up and I'm British but it sounded a bit off. It moves along fairly quickly and the supporting cast are ok Union being the standout. The whole premise of an under qualified 20's getting to space camp and then trying to save astronauts is silly but like I said Roberts makes it work if you just want a movie on in the background or to fill some time.
