Writer/director Liz W. Garcia plays it safe here, with a result that has no surprises but is effectively entertaining, thanks largely to Roberts’ performance.

Films like Space Cadet should feel graceful and light, going down easy like the many sweet cocktails we see Rex prepare, but this one is hopelessly muddled, a bitter first sip that proceeds to curdle.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 5, 2024

It purports to celebrate the pursuit of science, but this film may have single-handedly set the space programme back a decade.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 5, 2024

Peppy and harmless but unbearably dumb.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 4, 2024

The jokes feel tired. The actors are mostly doing their best, but the screenplay too often leaves them mimicking comedy rather than performing it.
