Eastwood leads a cast of rock-solid veterans in a comic space fantasy/adventure full of dad humor and ... well, a fairly cliched story of old space jockeys coming back to show the grasshoppers how it's done.
Space Cowboys isn't thoughtful sci-fi, but it's well-acted across the board and the effects hold up very well. It also doesn't hurt that the camera sure does love these guys (Tommy Lee Jones especially). The running time is on the long side and almost feels like two movies in one; but I enjoyed it for the most part, and the final shot is a real grabber.
Good luck getting that Sinatra song out of your head.
