Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Groovy
Review: This movie makes me break out the bong and smoke it up. I recomend it "Highly".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ludicrous Nostalgia
Review: This was a fun, but not perfect movie. If you grew up in the '70s it will definitely amuse you- if you didn't, well you may find it a bit silly but I don't think it will have the same punch.
A group of scientists sends a team back to retrieve "the Constitution" which has been lost. Only one man is old enough to remember it, and he's too senile to get the details straight. A malfunction sends the team to 1976 rather than their goal of 1776 and thus the premise of the movie. Will they find what they are looking for in the age of butterfly collars, the Carpenters and Grand Funk Railroad? Well I won't spoil the film by giving away the ending, but now you know the basic plot at least. If you are still not tempted to go out and see the movie, then it's probably not really for you. If on the other hand you are thinking, "Oh man, Grand Funk Railroad! I remember them!" then you may well find this movie very entertaining.
If you enjoy movies with the stereotypical pair of stoned (or stupid) teens ala "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure", "Dude, Where's My Car?", or "Dumb and Dumber", you may enjoy this film as well, even if you have no recollection of the '70s.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A review from Eddie Trojan
Review: To paraphrase Eddie: "there is no movie like this!" A film that lets us know that there are no 8-tracks in the future (especially of Grand Funk Railroad) and that two idiots who live in America can ace the science fair! Watch this movie and "just be." Or as they say in Japan: "Watashima manuki!" Talk about the malfunctioning technology we have to look forward to....
