Wow...it's terrible. Let's face it, Jerry Lewis trying to play it semi-straight is pretty dull. He's an astronaut roped into marrying Connie Stevens as a publicity stunt. They head for a space station to relieve crazy Howard Morris & Dennis Weaver. They also tangle with Russian counterparts Anita Ekberg & Dick Shawn. Nothing going on is even remotely funny save for the mugging of Morris. He's one of those personalities that just has to be seen to be amusing. Lewis has zero chemistry with Stevens, who, though striking is no comedienne. Bobo Lewis appears briefly and so does a very young James Brolin. Despite the colorful cast, there are very few laughs. Directed in the blandest way imaginable by Gordon Douglas and featuring a very blustery Robert Morley as Lewis's superior. Gary Lewis & the Playboys sing the silly theme song.
