Fly Me to the Moon (out Jul 11) is a comedy centred on a chatty marketing guru (Scarlett Johansson) promoting NASA in the lead up to man's landing on the moon in 1969. The lack of factual accuracy is annoying (none of these characters are real) and there's a raft of tonal changes which don't suit. The film wants to be light and fun but, unlike the Apollo 11 astronauts themselves, struggles to achieve its mission. Grade: C+.
