Fly Me to the Moon is a romantic comedy that uses the conspiracy that the moon landing was faked.
I was lucky enough to get an advanced screening of this film. The film was directed by Greg Berlanti who did the 2018 drama Love, Simon. He's better known as the producer of CW's The Flash and Arrow. In terms of direction, I would have reshot a lot of the beginning of the film. The later half is much better and I would have utilized the acting potential of the stars in the film.
Scarlett Johansson does a great job with accents and delivering the dialogue. It's easy to see her in the role of a PR representative and saleswoman. She also sells the idea that she likes Channing Tatum. He's easy on the eyes but he needs a better acting coach. I wonder how well he does with criticism because his acting hasn't improved over the years.
Woody Harrelson was the ideal choice to play Moe the government agent. He's the most entertaining person when he's on screen and you look forward to seeing him again. Ray Romano plays a dufus and because of his time in Everyone Loves Raymond the audience really agreed that he was that person.
The audience laughed a few times and there were scenes that I really enjoyed, it's not worth seeing in the theaters, wait for Netflix. Result: B-
