Disney continues to churn out sophomoric comedies that are insulting even to the 8 year olds they're aimed at. Wake up guys, fart and snot jokes have pretty much run their course. NASA is ready to lift off a mission to send humans to Mars, but they're an astronaut short. Clumsy computer geek Fred Z. Randall (Williams) makes the cut, and he's off to the stars and beyond with co-pilots Julie Ford (Lundy) and Wild Bill Overbeck (Sadler). Predictable pratfalls and an inter-rocket romance follow. Though he tries, Williams doesn't have the elasticity of Jim Carrey.
