One of the best 80s comedies

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2007)

I love "Back to the Future". It definitely is one of the best comedies to be produced in the 80s. Yes, it's cheesy, the special effects are cheesy, the dialogue and the music is so 80s, but it's so much fun to watch! I love this movie. It is one of my favorites. Even though I was born in 1984 I am a huge fan of this movie. Michael J. Fox was perfect for the role. You just gotta love Marty McFly. Christopher Lloyd was perfectly cast as Doc and Lea Thompson was great as Marty's mother. But I think my favorite performance from this film was Crispin Glover, who played Michael J. Fox's father. I found it interesting that when the movie was made, Michael J. Fox was actually three years older than Crispin Glover. And they're playing father and son! Michael J. Fox was 24 and Crispin Glover was 21. Interesting fact! Anyway, Crispin Glover was the perfect nerd. You just had to love George McFly! And you just had to feel sorry for him for getting picked on by Biff all the time. I loved all of Marty's attempts to get his parents together before he was erased from existence while he was back in 1955. I loved how you got to see a perfect depiction of the era of the 1950s, from the cars to the high school to the ice cream shop and then you saw how it looked in the present day 1985. There's even a DeLorean in the film! The cinematography was excellent and the direction was on key and you just loved all the characters. The storyline was interesting too. You just can't help but love this film. Yes, it's so 80s but it's so much fun to watch and Michael J. Fox was so cute in this film! "Back to the Future" is truly a classic! Thanks for reading my review!
