![]() | Galaxy Quest By the time Galaxy Quest hit theaters, Tim Allen was synonymous with a string of sub-standard zany comedies like Jungle 2 Jungle and The Santa Clause, parlayed from the success of Home Improvement. I therefore met the arrival of a new film from the dude who turned grunting into a legitimate form of comedy with dread. But instead of the 90 minutes of gross-out extraterrestrial slime jokes I expected from this sci-fi film, Galaxy Quest turned out to be one of the most clever big-budget comedies since the Ghostbusters franchise. In retrospect, I'm ashamed I ever doubted any film that pairs Sam Rockwell and Alan Rickman. Then sends them to space. |

David Spade is genuinely funny and the movie seems slightly improvised so there are some legit laughs throughout. Plus, the entire film is peppered with random cameos of has-been celebrities which give it just that extra push it needs to go from watchable to enjoyable. I give it 35 stars! (out of 45 of course.) |
