Excellent Entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2004)

I loved this film when as a kid, but childhood favourites often disappoint when you revisit them.
However, after a recent repeat TV viewing, the phrase "don't make 'em like they used to" came to mind. This is such an entertaining, quirky and funny film, and with so much charm, that you can't help rooting for the hero throughout.
Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox pitch their performances perfectly, and as a grown man I now understand why I had such a crush on Lea Thompson
Even the special effects hold up well after nearly 20 years.
