This was a fun movie, though I kept waiting for more follow through on plot points that were set up and then dropped. Did the sheriff just decide to keep quiet abut the fact he saw a boy run away from home and fly away in a junkyard rocket ship? Did the boys' parents ever find out that their children had been sneaking out for several nights in a row and eventually left the planet, only to return home soaking wet? Wasn't anyone concerned about all the property damage that the little glowing orb caused throughout the neighborhood?
My favorite part is when Darren brings the beer to share as they devise a name for the ship. I kept waiting for there to be some kind of moralizing, but it was just nonchalantly accepted. Maybe that's the real reason that first trip doesn't go as smoothly as planned!
