‘Spaceman’ review: Adam Sandler fails to style out this dour sci-fi – Berlin Film Festival
It was rumored, but never confirmed, that Quentin Tarantino imagined him a key role while writing Inglourious Basterds, although this might have been wishful thinking from critics who saw the talented Sandler heading in the same direction as John Travolta until Pulp Fiction saved him from a lifetime of Look Who’s Talking movies. In the end, Paul Thomas Anderson got there first, with Punch Drunk Love(2002), although the glow of a bona fide arthouse hit didn’t last long, and Jack and Jill still happened less than ten years later. Sadly, Spaceman isn’t that project, the kind of very dour relationship drama that would have defeated any A-lister, and indeed did when George Clooney starred in Steven Soderbergh’s badly received remake of Solaris.
