In a Galaxy Near You

2004 · 109 min

A goofy, good-natured space romp that plays its silly crew and broad gags for easy laughs rather than suspense.

Overview
In 2039, the Romano-Fafard spaceship crew, led by Captain Patenaude, are still looking for a viable planet to resume mankind and accommodate Earth's six billion idiots. They may have finally found one but it won't be trouble free.
