I wasn't expecting much from this flick but I thought it could be fun to watch with my step-son (he must have been 10 years old back then) and there was a small part by Paul Giamatti and blink-and-you-will-miss-it cameo by Keira Knightley.

“I wasn't expecting much from this flick but I thought it could be fun to watch with my step-son (he must have been 10 years old back then) and there was a small part by Paul Giamatti and blink-and-you-will-miss-it cameo by Keira Knightley. So, I had low expectations but, boy, it didn't expect it to be so bad.

Pikkupojalla on ongelmia, koska hän piereskelee koko ajan ja se on todella hauskaa. Sitten joku keksii, että pojan pierut voivat pelastaa avaruuteen jumiin jääneet astronautit ja yhtäkkiä pierupoika onkin sankari. Rupert Grintin roolisuoritus on yksi kaikkien aikojen ärsyttävimpiä ja häntä tekisi mieli leipoa kunnolla turpaan. Yksi huonoimmista näkemistäni elokuvista.
