Summary: The Green family consists of Bill, the overworked and cautious father, (Bob Joles) Alice, the fearless and stubborn grandmother, (Artemis Pebdani) Tilly, the kind and thoughtful daughter, (Marieve Herington) and Cricket, the mischievous and energetic son who constantly gets his family in trouble. This family of farmers moved from the countryside to the big city, and they work hard to sell their produce. After a long year, they are excited to go on vacation. However, when Cricket finds out what the vacation plan is, he finds it boring and repetitive. So when the opportunity to help harvest crops in space that includes a free stay at an incredible space hotel with many amenities arises, Cricket sees an opportunity, but his dad disagrees. Frustrated, but unwilling to give up, he tricks his family into going to space. While it seems great at first, due to the negligent CEO of Big Tech the space travel company, Gwendolyn Zapp, (Cheri Oteri) they have to deal with a number of things from malfunctioning robots to a giant asteroid. Meanwhile, their mom, Nancy, (Wendy McLendon-Covey) and their friend Gloria, (Anna Akana) are doing all they can on Earth to help them deal with the problems and get them home safely.

 

My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. The movie had a decent plot, its funny moments, and I have watched the show before, but it just wasn't a movie that I enjoyed too much. 

 

Public Rating: since this movie did not release in theaters, not enough critics review it to be placed on the Tomatometer, but the critics that did review it tend to agree on around a 4 to 4.5 out of 5 stars.
