Cute movie. The three actors are playing young boys, let’s guess 14 years old. Young enough to be very cute, old enough to be able to do stuff. They invent a spaceship, it moves by clean thoughts and righteous living, nothing as crude as rockets. They evade a suspicious cop, they find off world creatures who know about earth music and flicks. It’s fun to watch. The young actors mumble a bit so I didn’t catch all the dialogue, but it could have been worse. Naturally after adventures in outer space they all make it home safely. Ethan Hawke gets the nicest role of a good kid, who has a girl friend, and stays out of trouble. River Phoenix gets the role of super nerd scientist who creates the spacecraft. Jason Presson gets a decent role as the kid who knows stuff, like welding and finding the more or less ready to go hull of the space craft. Good watch for children in the vicinity of 10 years old. But the time they reach 18, forget it.
