It is a marvelous film, with only a few missteps and otherwise a nearly perfect accomplishment of what they were trying to do by making it. I'm surprised David Howard hasn't done something more, although doing one thing perfectly well is admirable. (The other screenplay writer, Robert Gordon, (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0330565/) has done screenplays for Men In Black II and for Lemony Snicket, neither of which I've seen, but might now that I'm aware of it.)
It's a shame there wasn't more Galaxy Quest, although I guess they couldn't add much without harming what was right about it.
