Nearly six months after its box office flop, the historical romantic comedy-drama “Fly Me to the Moon” is finally available for streaming.

The latest film from director Greg Berlanti, starring an A-list cast, appeared against the backdrop of a modest resurgence in the genre, but failed to take off on the same trajectory as rom-coms such as “Anyone But You.”

As of December 6, this space war rom-com is available on Apple TV Plus. Given the film's poor performance this summer and its mixed critical reception (65% on Rotten Tomatoe), it probably won't be on many prospective viewers' watch lists.

But as someone who enjoyed seeing this revisionist romance on the big screen, I urge you to give it a try, at least now that it is available on Apple TV Plus.

“Fly Me to the Moon” is a romantic comedy-drama about Kelly Jones (Scarlett Johansson), a marketing outlier recruited for a bold new mission. People's interest in the space race is waning, and the government, represented by the smooth-talking secret agent Moe Berkus (Woody Harrelson), is seeking Kelly's help to win it back.

To that end, Kelly sets up an office at NASA headquarters and teams up with Cole Davis (Channing Tatum), the straight man launch director at Kennedy Space Center. Kelly is hired to do whatever is necessary to gain the support of the American public again, and there is a hint of attraction between the two, but Cole does not welcome her methods or her continued presence in the field.

Mo explains that the impending Apollo 11 mission is too big to fail and presents her with another objective, code-named “Project Artemis.” Kelly and Cole are forced to work together as sparks begin to fly in every sense of the word.

Critics have rightly pointed out that the film has problems. I too find it odd, for example, that there seem to be three places where it could have actually ended. But “Fly Me to the Moon” is far from the worst film to hit the screen this year (it is still “Borderlands”).

In fact, many audiences will love the film. Rotten Tomatoes has a Popcornmeter score of 90% as of this writing.

Despite its uneven plot, Fly Me to the Moon is a playful and endearing old-fashioned romance. Johansson is the main reason for this, as she is a charming leading lady.

It is a pleasure to watch Kelly Jones give orders at Kennedy Space Center as things become increasingly chaotic, and she displays decent, if not giggly, chemistry with the launch coordinator, played by Tatum. And frankly, it is worth seeing just to see Jim Rash as the pompous and smug director, Lance Vespertine.

I'd like a second opinion IGN critic A.A. Dowd gave “Fly Me to the Moon” a 6/10, saying it “has a delightful (if sometimes clumsy) charm,” adding: “With the uncommonly genial Scarlett Johansson and the likable There's a lot of charm in the combination of the unusually bubbly Scarlett Johansson and the likably earnest Channing Tatum.

Similarly, Total Film's Kate Stables, rating it 3/5 stars, described “Fly Me to the Moon” as “a hilarious, if somewhat overstuffed, space race romance” that, upon its release, “is a bold, retro-style original story with a safe summer standout in a sea of sequels,” argued.

On the flip side, Empire's Ian Murray gave the film 2/5 stars and wrote, “With a stellar cast, a charming '60s setting, and rocket-powered stakes, Berlanti's film has all the right pieces [...]. . but the results are disjointed and underwhelming,” he wrote.

In conclusion, Fly Me to the Moon is not a perfect film. But if you guys have an Apple TV Plus and are looking for a zippy, fun film, this space race rom-com is worth checking out.
