Astronaut (PG)
Directed by Shelagh McCleod
★★★
72-YEAR-OLD Richard Dreyfuss, best remembered for Jaws, American Graffiti and Close Encounters of the Third Kind — a film title with a certain contemporary resonance — joins the burgeoning space-travel-themed Hollywood ranks with Astronaut.
Directed by actor Shelagh McCleod, it's a sweet-natured if somewhat relentlessly sentimental feature-film debut.
