...save the unoccupied Skylab space station from plunging prematurely to earth. Late last year, Skylab began to show a dangerous loss of altitude, a byproduct of atmospheric effects caused by unexpectedly strong sunspot activity during the current solar cycle. Skylab's descent is being hastened by its wobbling motion, which increases friction as the ship moves through stray molecules of atmosphere in its path. Ground controllers twice tried unsuccessfully to stabilize the craft, hoping to keep it aloft at least until the end of 1979. By then the space shuttle may be ready to carry into space a small...
...long line of hyped-up fiascos. The picture starts nowhere and goes nowhere, the story is plain dumb and the acting is pathetically poor. The director seems to have hastily thrown together some pretty bad bits and pieces and tried to pass it off as a whole motion picture...

One time he knocks over some glassware while attempting to project a suave image for Goldie Hawn; another time he falls off a gangplank into a river just after warning Hawn that it is slippery. At no other point is he given anything even remotely funny to say or do. It is hard to remember when a talented comic...
