Die Hard meets Irwin Allen meets The Three Stooges.

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2006)

Thrill to ultra-schmaltz, juvenile behavior and Space Program professionals acting like cheerleaders at the Super Bowl. Marvel as science, the laws of physics and any shred of believability are tossed out the window as the goofball space cavalry rides to the rescue of the entire Earth! Endure oodles of heartwarming music, tear jerking drama, and hideously cornball acting.
The great poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge once wrote that a successful creative work depends on its ability to create a willing suspension of disbelief in its audience. I have to say my disbelief won out big time on this one. I did watch the whole movie though  as the film progressed, I found myself rooting for the asteroid.
* scenes depicting Bruce Willis laughing on his way to the bank were deleted from the final cut
