Rating: C -- There seems like there could have been quite the stylish biopic in Rapkin's version of events, but the telling is underwhelming. Full Review

While a fictionalized account of Lee's career certainly held some sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll potential, the blandly pedestrian film "Spaceman" seldom delivers despite an engagingly game lead performance by Josh Duhamel. Full Review

Whiffs on the sports, the action, the story, the dialogue, the acting, the cinematography, the production design, the costuming, the humor ... and somehow turns a potentially compelling character study into one big yawning seventh-inning stretch. Full Review

Rating: 4/10 -- Spaceman is a tonally confused, moderately entertaining glimpse into the life of one of baseball's most bizarre characters. Full Review

The effort is commendable, but the execution is rocky. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Overall the results are amiable, if also slack and talky. Full Review

Rating: C -- Unfortunately, Duhamel's bright performance ends up the highlight of the feature, which only provides a vague idea of Lee's life and love for belligerent behavior. Full Review

Spaceman never goes below the surface to who [Bill] Lee really is, despite copious interior monologues presumably taken from Lee's own book. Full Review

Product Description:

This biopic details the long, strange trip of '70s southpaw pitcher and counterculture advocate Bill "Spaceman" Lee (played here by Josh Duhamel) in the years following his retirement from Major League Baseball, after he was dropped by the Montreal Expos in 1982 for his iconoclastic behavior on and off the field. Directed by Brett Rapkin, who traveled to Cuba with Lee while making the 2006 documentary SPACEMAN: A BASEBALL ODYSSEY.
