Fly Me to the Moon

"Fly me to the Moon is an unexpected romantic comedy -- though, by the story, you might imagine the film could go the route of a historical drama or a conventional comedy. But forget about films like Hidden Figures: this production by filmmaker Greg Berlanti (Love, Simon) is a charming and likable movie that tells the story of a hard-nosed marketing director (Scarlett Johansson) who, on a mission to make the trip to the Moon more palatable and accessible to the general public, ends up developing feelings for one of NASA's directors (Channing Tatum). As a backdrop, of course, are the challenges of making this mission a reality, along with all the marketing tricks involved in the equation, reminiscent of what we saw in Air and other movies about the behind-the-scenes of products. Fly me to the Moon never manages to be truly bold and disruptive, despite the out-of-the-box idea, but it should still elicit some sighs."
