Escape from the 21st Century

The film walks a fine line between absurd comedy and a touching coming-of-age story, using time travel as a metaphor for missed chances and anxiety about the future. The action sequences and humor are well-paced against a backdrop of early-2000s nostalgia.

What lingers after the credits roll is a playful thought about the ripple effects of our small choices. It's an inventive and often silly ride that commits fully to its bizarre premise. — MovieFinder Editorial
