Fly Me to the Moon Reviews

Special nod to Greg Berlanti for injecting the film with a lot of heart. I wasn’t surprised by how good Johansson and Tatum were. I wasn’t surprised by how witty and light the jokes were. It’s the film being so moving that hit me sideways.

Its premise about a staged moon landing often benefits from palpable chemistry between Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, but its uneven pace stumbles into platitudes that suspend the romantic comedy in predictable situations. [Full review in Spanish]

Berlanti proves himself in comedy and embraces with conviction the themes of the sixties romcom: a sugary and colorful war of the sexes a la Rock Hudson and Doris Day sieved through the 'Mad Men' filter... [Full review in Spansih]

While it's unable to steer its romantically predetermined components into any real semblance of authenticity, Fly Me to the Moon finds Scarlett Johansson in top form as a fascinating woman deserving of a more satisfying outcome.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 7, 2024

It's not a great movie...it’s half-baked both as a breezy romantic comedy and as a stirring patriotic ode...but I appreciate how it understands the fundamental distrust toward manipulation that sits at the heart of conspiracy thinking.

Despite leaving its love affair on the launch pad, this sassy NASA romcom fulfils its mission to entertain.

No work of art exists separate to the zeitgeist, but Fly Me to the Moon is hoping its romantic escapism will do the trick. Unfortunately, Rose Gilroy’s... script and Greg Berlanti’s solid directorial work are faded relics of a faded empire.

Fly Me To The Moon is silly and sassy, snappy and jazzy. It plays hard and fast with the truth, but somehow manages to squeeze some heart in among its paint-by-numbers characters

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 4, 2024

The space rom-com with Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum doesn’t know what it wants to be.

Full Review | Aug 3, 2024

There’s enough that works with “Fly Me to the Moon” that one gets annoyed that more of it misfires. It’s one vehicle that could have spent more time being re-engineered before being sent out to the launchpad.

How is it possible that ScarJo and Tatum, two of the sexiest earthlings, have so little chemistry in the retro romcom Fly Me To The Moon?

Scarlett Johansson sparkles and shines.

Unfortunately, Fly Me To the Moon does not stick to its own advice and is overloaded with narrative threads. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Jul 30, 2024

There are good romantic comedies on cable and streaming services, but the motion picture world needed a movie like this. Fly Me to the Moon takes romance into an entertaining orbit accented with a nice touch of nostalgia.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jul 29, 2024

Scarlett Johansson prevents this likeable, harmless, but frivolous film from cratering.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2024

Is certainly no cinematic masterpiece, but it is a delightful ode to the romantic comedies of a bygone era.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 26, 2024

While an entertaining enough romp, headlined by a charismatic central pairing, there’s a nagging sense that director Greg Berlanti’s movie doesn’t quite know what it wants to be.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 26, 2024

Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson try to win the 1969 space race in Fly Me to the Moon. But its heavy-handed history lessons ruin the fun.

Full Review | Jul 25, 2024

Fly Me To The Moon is an interesting watch due to its engaging screenplay and cast performances.
