A team of intrepid adventurers travels through the outer reaches of the galaxy, each week finding excitement and adventure on Galaxy Quest ! Or at least that's the way it was in the mid-1970s, when brave if reckless Captain Peter Quincy Taggart, lovely Lieutenant Tawny Madison, and inscrutable alien Dr. Lazarus were the leaders of an interstellar law enforcement team on the TV series of that name. Twenty years later, the show is still in reruns, and Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen), Gwen DeMarco (Sigourney Weaver), and Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman) prop up their sagging careers by making appearances at sci-fi conventions, where they grudgingly shake hands and give autographs for the show's socially inept following. However, it turns out that nerdy sci-fi fans aren't the only ones watching: somewhere in another solar system, a group of alien rebels living under a regime of violence and repression have picked up broadcasts of Galaxy Quest, and they aren't aware that it's fiction. They travel to Earth and encounter the Galaxy Quest cast, who figure that they're just another bunch of guys who like to dress funny. However, they soon realize that they're being hired not for another autograph-signing session but for a real-life outer space rescue mission. Galaxy Quest was directed by Dean Parisot, who had a background in TV directing before his theatrical debut with the dark comedy Home Fries. Mark Deming, Rovi

Seller's Description:
Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shalhoub, Justin Long, Sam Rockwell, Tim Allen, Daryl Mitchell, Enrico Colantoni. Very good in very good packaging. The sci-fi television series Galaxy Quest, which took place aboard the intergalactic spaceship NSEA Protector, starred Jason Nesmith as suave Commander Peter Quincy Taggert, Gwen DeMarco as sexy communications person Lt. Tawny Madison (a role which consisted solely of repeating what the computer stated, much to Gwen's annoyance), Shakespearean trained Sir Alexander Dane as alien Dr. Lazarus, Fred Kwan as engineer Tech Sgt. Chen, and Tommy Webber as child gunner Laredo. Seventeen years after the show last aired, it lives on in the hearts of its rabid fans. However it lives on in infamy for its stars, who have not been able to find meaningful acting work since. Their current lives revolve around cashing in on however those roles will afford, which usually entails attending fan conventions or worse, such as shopping mall openings. Only Jason seems to relish his lot in life, until he finds out that his co-stars detest him because of his superior attitude as "the Commander"...N/A. 2.35: 1. Spanish. Deleted Scenes, Behind The Scenes, Documentary, Cast Biography. 1080i.

Seller's Description:
Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Enrico Colantoni. Very good in very good packaging. Language: English. Run time: 102 mins. Originally released: 1999.
There's a reason this film boasts so many great actors; the writing and concepts are crisply comic, everybody plays it completely straight - it's the perfect mid-life, believing-in-yourself-again movie. And spot the moment Joss Whedon totally stole for "Serenity."

Cure for winter blahs
I had to be pushed very hard to watch this movie, and I am glad I finally did. Galaxy Quest captures all of the kitsch of Star Trek was well as most of the heart. Add this movie to Support Your Local Sheriff, and you have a quick cure for the winter blues. Both will leave you laughing.
