Scarlett Johansson serves up Apollo-era nostalgia in 'Fly Me to the Moon' (review)

A woman with a clipboard stands beside a suited gentleman with a TV camera behind them.

Firmly set against the historical background of NASA's triumphant Apollo 11 moon landing in July of 1969, "Fly Me To The Moon" is a rousing romantic comedy directed by Greg Berlanti that seductively charms and weaves its way towards becoming a true summertime crowd-pleaser.

Starring Scarlett Johansson as a crafty advertising ace named Kelly Jones who's recruited by Woody Harrelson's mysterious G-man Mo Berkus to stir up public enthusiasm for NASA's space program, this primary-colored period piece opened July 12, 2024 and offers a kaleidoscope of shifting tones and witty banter that recalls Hollywood offerings from screen legends like Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn.
