"Space Cadet" is a charming new space-based comedy on Prime Video that offers up the fantasy-like tale of how one brash and ebullient Cocoa Beach bartender with hopes of living her dream cons her way into NASA's astronaut candidate program by submitting a false application that greatly exaggerated her limited credentials.
Directed by Liz W. Garcia, "Space Cadet" stars Emma Roberts ("American Horror Story") as Tiffany 'Rex' Simpson, the college dropout aspiring to accomplish something greater in her life and winds up picked to participate in an elimination process to choose the next four astronaut trainees. It's all spun out of a heightened reality where NASA apparently does no background checking except for a couple phone calls, but it's delivered in such good fun you might not even care.
