There is so much to like, from the cardboard space shuttle and cardboard planets and Styrofoam asteroids, to the very likeable Jane and Adam. No one would believe that would be any interior of a spacecraft, but it is perfect for the story. It is not meant to be a sci-fi documentary. And Adam with his obsession with Pop Tarts. They are stranded in space, no communications and no navigation and the movie starts out with a cost/benefit discussion as to whether they could/should be rescued. And they have been in space three years. Jane and Adam are married, but not to each other. Benson was along, but now only a skeleton in a spacesuit, and one doesn't get the story until late in the film. It is a very gentle rom-com on a very human level. What if they cannot get home? Jane tries working on the wiring to get things to work, but there are billions of possibilities, as the wires are not labeled. It is breezy, with lots of funny parts, including that Adam was terrified watching the film Alien. Yes, they have movies and music, and even a farm with chickens and a goat. And Adam is working on crossing marijuana with a blueberry plant. Suddenly, after a rewiring, they still don't have communications, but they get navigation, so they can be back on earth in three weeks. How is that going to work out?
