The Astronaut's Wife

(New Line)

Johnny Depp is a space-shuttle pilot who gives the world and wife Charlize Theron a scare when one of his flights is interrupted by an explosion. He returns to impregnate his wife with twins, but something is not quite right. First-time director Rand Ravich aspires to Roman Polanski's baroque style without achieving much of Polanski's wit or clarity. Still, Wife's insults to the brain sometimes resemble strokes of genius.
