Old School Reviews
All these years later, the sight of a man walking on the surface of the moon has lost none of its power.

Rating: B --
Sitch's movie is a simple pleasure, full of memorable characters and comedy that could only occur under the direction of a patient and observant director.

Looking Closer
Makes you admire the Australian ability to make a comedy that's sincere rather than crass.

Rating: B --
A satellite dish sitting in the middle of an Australian sheep farm might not sound like the most compelling subject to base a story around, but there are hidden charms in this graceful film that add up to something quite out of the ordinary.

Description by OLDIES.com:
It's the biggest event since sheep invented wool! Apollo 11's astronauts will walk on the moon -- and the 1,000-ton satellite dish in tiny, sheep-farming Parkes, Australia, will beam that historic first step around the globe. But as giddy citizens prepare for the moment when the entire world will depend on them, the dish flatlines. And its unconventional Aussie crew and by-the-book NASA supervisor from the U.S. have very different ideas about how to fix it.
