Rocketman is Stupid but Hilarious

Rocketman is a great movie for kids. I found it to be pretty clean and fairly funny. The story and scenarios are sometimes outrageously corny, but this adds to the comical feel of the whole film. The main character (who is also the cause of the movie's humorous twist) has long had a dream of traveling into space. As an adult, his dream becomes a living reality, as he becomes a member of a small crew headed for Mars. But, as you might expect, he is a klutz. He makes numerous mistakes, and his two fellow astronauts find him annoying and rather troublesome at times, such as when he accidentally supplements the space food tubes with tubes of medical creams. Due to certain circumstances, he ends up missing out on his cryogenic slumber, resulting in a number of months of the main character roaming about the ship talking to himself. He also is in love with the female astronaut aboard the ship, and eventually, she starts to warm up to him. If you want to have a good laugh, I recommend trying watching Rocketman.
