Fun and well made

Rating: 8/10 (5 February 2006)

Sparing use of the special effects of its time, good script, good director and brilliant actors. That's the recipe in baking a classic comedy.
Back To The Future is made in 1985, and surprisingly that doesn't show. If the special affects would have been overused the situation might be different, but now the effects enhance the plot nicely.
Marty (Micheal J. Fox) is a teenager who is involved in a experiment of time travel with his friend Doc Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd). Suddenly Marty finds himself in the past and he soon is tangled in a relationship web of his dad and mom before they started to date. He must get the together or he and his siblings cease to exist in the future.
All characters are nicely over the top and visual and verbal comedy is arranged so that there is always something funny afoot. There are very few serious situations in the film, but the plot isn't a bloated mess like it sometimes is in comedies. the plot is given enough space to breathe and present itself in a good manner, so that the in all red line isn't lost in the wilderness.
When I was younger I always liked the part 2 better than this, but now after seeing this again after couple of years I can say, that Back To the Future is hilarious film.
My thumbs up.
