Runtime: 1 hr 35 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Synopsis: Welcome to the Moon 2087. With all the natural resources mined out years ago, the Moon has become the new Wild West. A place where money and the right contacts can get you anything you want and... Welcome to the Moon 2087. With all the natural resources mined out years ago, the Moon has become the new Wild West.

Joining Nash in the danger and lunacy are Dina Lake (ROSARIO DAWSON), a beautiful earthling who has traveled to the moon to further her singing ambitions, and Pluto's bodyguard Bruno (RANDY QUAID) - a robot quickly approaching obsolescence. Rounding out the cast are Rowland (PETER BOYLE), a pool shark and Pluto's confidant; Flura (PAM GRIER), Pluto's mother; and Tony Francis (JAY MOHR), Pluto's friend and an Italian singing sensation.

It's not funny, it's not romantic, it's not exciting, it's not for children, it's not remotely interesting.

If there really was a merciful God, the film negatives would have been burnt to a crisp in a freak accident. No such luck.

Flotsam in the sea of moviemaking, not big enough for us to worry about it causing significant harm and not smelly enough to bother despising.

(Supposedly) its release has been held up for nearly two years because of its complicated visual effects. Yeah, right: And the moon is made of green cheese.
