Fly Me to the Moon - Official Trailer
Director Greg Berlanti’s romantic comedy, which imagines Richard Nixon’s administration really did film a fake, back-up moon landing in 1969, is a mystifying misfire all along the way from initial concept to end credits.
How are we supposed to be inspired, moved and swept up by a story we know full well is phony? A more stylish director with a strong point of view and a finer script could perhaps figure it out. But Berlanti, a TV bigwig who also helmedThe film feels as false as its plot, by the way. The story is carelessly spun off from a real event: NASA’s public relations department actually did advocate for the Apollo 11 moon landing to be broadcast live on TV. Their entire campaign was a roaring success.
