Silly and corny, but likeable and sometimes funny...

Rating: 6/10 (5 May 2002)

1st watched 5/5/2002 - 6 out of 10(Dir-Robert Zemeckis): Silly and corny, but likeable and sometimes funny time travel comedy. A major hit when it first came out which I think had more to do with how well it was marketed then how good of a movie it was. Michael J. Fox carries the film with his charm and his ability to do physical comedy. The story jumps back and forth from serious to silly which keeps us giggling and the good guys win in the end which usually makes for a winner at the box office. The focus of most of the comedy has to do with Michael trying to get his parents together despite his unexpected intervention into their lives and being his mom's flame for awhile putting a damper on his real mom and dad getting together. It all works out in the end of course and we're ready for part ii in the series which is predicted by the "To be continued..." as the credits roll.
