this mild-mannered feature debut from British TV actor turned writer-director Shelagh McLeod, is more heart-tugging family saga than intergalactic adventure; For a first feature, "Astronaut" is a respectable effort overall
"Astronaut" is a charming fable given life by Richard Dreyfuss' spirited performance; This is a film that really will appeal to viewers of all ages, and that doesn't lose sight of the dream
