I used to love this movie...

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2008)

A film that became a classic, two dopey high schoolers are threatened to be split up by one of their fathers if they don't ace the oral presentation in History. The problem is that someone else doesn't want them to part ways, and sends them on a special trip...into the past.
Having recently saw this film for the "umpteenth" time, these two "dudes" obviously aren't that stupid in real life (maybe they watched Sean Penn's character "Spiccoli" in "Fast Times at Ridgemount High" for incentive on their character), but that shows how good they can really act. No one knew at the time what heights Reeves would rise to, but this film definitely begins to show what range he can achieve.
If I'd written this comment and voted for it the first or second time I saw it (when it originally came out), it would probably have received a higher vote, but, alas, I have grown and my tastes in comedy have matured (No way, dude!) 6 out of 10 stars!
