‘Fly Me To The Moon’ Review: Scarlett Johansson And Channing Tatum Fire On All Cylinders In A Screwy Space-Race Rom-Com
Chemistry has always been Hollywood's secret sauce, and, for rom-coms at least, the high-water mark remains the pairing of Doris Day and Rock Hudson. Most cineastes can name their first collaboration (Pillow Talk in 1959), but the others — Lover Come Back…
