Screenplay by Rose Gilroy.
Directed by Greg Berlanti.
Distributed by Columbia Pictures. 132 minutes. Rated PG-13.
“Fly me to the moon / Let me play among the stars / And let me see what spring is like / On Jupiter and Mars / In other words, hold my hand / In other words, baby, kiss me.”
It would be nice if the romantic comedy Fly Me To the Moon were as simple, frisky and romantic as the song from which it took its title. Honestly, sometimes it does reach those heights, but it has too much going on plot-wise and not enough romance and comedy to keep its story airborne.
That’s a shame, because this is one of very few rom coms which will be widely released this summer. I was hoping that this film would ignite, but that only happens periodically.
Fly Me To the Moon captures a particular place and time in American history – Cape Kennedy, Florida on the eve of the 1969 Apollo 11 launch and man’s first walk on the moon. It has an interesting cast of characters – scientists, astronauts, marketing specialists, shady government agents, far right-wing politicians and egomaniacal Hollywood directors. It’s old-fashioned, and yet it has things to say about modern society as well.
So why does Fly Me To the Moon only sometimes reach lift-off?
Simply put, because they were trying to do too much. Added into the dish like an unnecessary spice is a whole section based on the old conspiracy theory that the moon landing was a fake made on a soundstage – quite possibly by Stanley Kubrick. (I will give Fly Me To the Moon props for a clever Kubrick gag in the middle of the action.)
This not-so-little subplot does not appear in the story until about an hour into the film, and honestly, it’s an unwelcome addition. Not only has the fakes space mission storyline been done way too often on film already – from the mostly forgotten but surprisingly good 1970s thriller Capricorn One to more recent films like Moonwalkers, Dark Side of the Moon and others. Hell, it was even a quick sight gag in Minions, which may be proof positive that this story is overdone.
To be quite honest, I think Fly Me To the Moon would have worked better had they simply jettisoned that storyline and had done a straight romance around the NASA launch of Apollo 11. The faking story makes more than one of the main characters look bad on a regular basis. Sure, it does give more ammunition to Woody Harrelson playing the shadowy Nixon operative behind the scheme – and Woody is very funny here – but he was very funny well before this plot thread was introduced. They could have found more for him to do in the original narrative.
Because what Fly Me To the Moon is really about – or at least it was until the storyline took that hard right turn – was the timid romance between two very different types of people who meet working on the leadup to the launch.
The woman is Kelly Jones (Scarlett Johansson), a smart, flirty and somewhat cynical public relations professional who has a sketchy past and some questionable methods. She has been hired by the government to start a buzz on the space program, which is still reeling from the tragic explosion of Apollo 1 a couple of years earlier. She has the hair of an astronaut’s wife, blood red lips and the va-va-voom pants suits and capris of a pin-up girl – all of which she uses to disarm the sexist guys she always has to deal with in business.
The guy is Cole Davis (Channing Tatum), the rather humorless former-aspiring-astronaut and scientist in charge of the mission. You can tell how button-down Cole is because throughout the length of the film he wears the exact same style of shirt – just in different colors. (He also has an odd-modern looking short-but layered haircut which is far from the crew cut which someone in his position would have worn.) You can also tell that he is repressed because the first time he meets Kelly – in a local diner – he acknowledges she is the most attractive woman he has ever seen. Still, he cock-blocks himself, telling her that he can’t get involved with anyone because of bad timing and the importance of his job.
I guess we should look at the elephant in the room here. While Johansson and Tatum are both undoubtedly gorgeous, they have very little chemistry together. This is mostly on Tatum’s side – and it may not even be the actor’s fault, it may just be the role as written. Still, it is a little hard to root for a happy-ever-after for these two.
However, taking a look at the space program at the height of its importance is endlessly fascinating. Had they maintained the view at the actual space landing rather than showing the less interesting attempts to recreate it, Fly Me To the Moon may have been something special. Instead it is a fairly good movie which had the potential to be very good.

No, Rep. Rodney Davis didn't say Congress should hire fewer women to avoid sexual harassment scandals
http://ryanguillory.com/no-rep-rodney-davis-didnt-say-congress-should-hire-fewer-women-to-avoid-sexual-harassment-scandals/
No, Rep. Rodney Davis didn't say Congress should hire fewer women to avoid sexual harassment scandals
Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., did not suggest Tuesday that Congress could avoid sexual harassment scandals by hiring fewer women.
Rather, the Illinois congressman said specifically that his office is looking for ways to make sure this exact thing doesn’t happen as a result of increased awareness regarding harassment.
“I have a female-led staff, and I asked them their opinion,” Davis said during the hearing. “They were concerned … that an unintended consequence may be some offices just take a shortcut and not hire women as a way to avoid these issues.”
“Obviously that’s not the right approach,” he added.
Unfortunately for the congressman, his not-at-all ridiculous remarks have made him the target of a Twitter rage mob.
The Huffington Post’s Amanda Terkel – who did nothing wrong here, let’s just emphasize that – tweeted Davis’ remarks as she covered the hearing.
“Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL) says he’s worried congressional offices will hire fewer women to avoid issue of sexual harassment,” she wrote on Twitter.

That was all it took to spark a Twitter riot among politicos and pundits, many of whom assumed from Terkel’s single tweet that Davis had actually suggested Congress hire fewer women.
The Nation’s Ryan Cooper wrote, “can’t see a way out of this problem…nope, it’s impossible.”
“Snake eats tail,” tweeted the Atlantic’s Vann R. Newkirk II.
Francisco J. Pelayo, director of Hispanic media and Regional press secretary for the Democratic Party tweeted a single, “Unbelievable.”
“Seriously?! Excluding women from Congress is NOT how we should address sexual harassment,” said EMILY’s List president Stephanie Schriock.
Schriock then added in an endorsement of Democratic House candidate Betsy D. Londrigan, “Let’s get this buffoon out and elect [Betsy] instead.”
The official EMILY’s List Twitter account even published a note of endorsement:
Londrigan herself wrote, “Changing culture around sexual harassment starts w/leadership. Excluding women from workforce is not an acceptable solution.”
Nj.com investigative reporter Payton Guion added elsewhere, “For fuck’s sake, it’s not the presence of women that leads to sexual harassment/assault.”
“Don’t worry, Rod. Soon those Congressional offices will be filled with women and this won’t be an issue,” said anti-gun enthusiast Shannon Watts.
Raw Story’s Sarah Burris said, “Maybe hire fewer creeper predators? Just a thought.”
“Actual solution: hire more women in positions of power. Implement sexual harassment training. Fund sex ed programs so the future looks better. Or we can hire more women as members of Congress,” tweeted Planned Parenthood president Cecil Richards.
BBC’s North American editor Paul Danahar added, “and news now from the 1950’s and this just in from the nation’s capital Washington DC.”
And so on and so on and so on.
As for Terkel (whose use of the word “worried” in her original tweet should have tipped off readers about Davis’s meaning), she tried her best to calm the mob by pointing out Rep. Davis had not said anything wrong or controversial.
“For the record, Davis is not saying he will do this. He said he had female staffers who were concerned about this. That’s why he asked what to do about it,” the Huffington Post reporter tweeted. “And Davis specifically said: ‘Obviously that’s not the right approach.’ Thought it’s smart that he raised it and asked what is being done to prevent this from happening.”
She added, “Everyone chill out on Rep. Rodney Davis. He did not say he will hire fewer women to avoid sexual harassment. He asked how to prevent other offices from doing that.”
But, alas, there was no putting the genie back in the bottle Tuesday. The We Hate Davis mob continued its merry way, and they’re still piling on him for saying a thing he didn’t actually say.
God bless the Internet.
