Misleading Film Titles

Mr. Watkins came round last night for curry and a film. He wanted to watch something called The Astronaut Farmer. He had no idea if it was good or not, but just liked the name! At first I thought this was going to be a hilarious comedy about an astronaut working on a farmyard with cows, pigs and chickens. Either that or a movie about a farmer who goes onto the moon – something like “The Wurzels in Space”.

Alas it was none of these, it was a serious drama starring the man from Bad Santa - although this time he wasn’t swearing, drinking and pissing on the floor. It was about him building a space rocket in his back garden and how his little project was affecting his hick family.

Rubbish film and one we turned off after the first hour. I didn’t find out whether or not he made it into space, or just gave up and went back to being a hick. Quite frankly, I don’t care.
