The Reluctant Astronaut (1967)

Roy Fleming is a small-town kiddie-ride operator who is deathly afraid of heights. After learning that his father has signed him up for the space program, Roy reluctantly heads for Houston, only to find out upon arriving that his job is as a janitor, not an astronaut. Anxious to live up to the expectations of his domineering father, Roy manages to keep up a facade of being an astronaut to his family and friends. When NASA decides to launch a layperson into space to prove the worthiness of a new automated spacecraft, Roy gets the chance to confront his fears.

An intensely humorous Don Knotts picture, albeit dated.

Classic. Nothing funnier when it came out.

NOT funny doesn't even begin to describe this dud. Even if you're a huge Don Knotts fan (which admittedly I am not), the jokes and humor are few and far between in this one. The release date of 1967 is a little surprising--other than being in color, it has the look and feel of a bland, harmless mid-50s comedy. I was mainly interested in this to see an early comedy performance from Leslie Nielsen. Alas, he hadn't quite made the full jump to comedy yet, and he's utilized here as the strait man to Knotts' goofball. The plot has been summarized here nicely, so I won't rehash. Personally, I find this kind of unbelievable high-concept goofiness, so popular in the 50s and 60s, to simply no longer be funny or relevant in the new millennium. It's my opinion. But if Don Knotts being given a string of near-inexplicable excuses to bug his eyes out at the camera for an hour and a half is your idea of a good time, have at it.

Not as cute as "Rocketman", but charming in its own way.

Not as funny as "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken", but still fun to watch.
