Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: During the closing credits, an additional scene is shown where the character of Charlie Farmer appears on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. When Jay greets Mr. Farmer before Charlie sits down, Jay can be overheard saying what sounds like "How are you, Bob?", if fact, he said "How are you, pal?" This is also indicated by the subtitles. moreQuotes:

Charles Farmer: That's the color on the inside of a salmon. I don't think a fish would wear that color on the outside.

This film was excellent and it exceeded my expectations. I was not able to see this film in theaters, so I waited for this film to come out on DVD. Since I am a big fan of these kind of movies, I was intrigued of the thought of this movie. The plot was great. The plot is about a man played by Billy Bob Thornton and he builds a homemade rocket that he plans to launch into space. I really liked that idea. In the small acting cast, they were all great. I give credit to the Polish brothers on their directing. I liked the score as well. Some people say that the score does not fit well with the film because the score is way too happy. The only good-feeling themes were played during the happy scenes. This movie was one of best films of 2007. I highly recommend this movie for all ages. I gave this delightful film a 10/10. Let's Blast Off!!!!!
