3/4
Daniel Stern gives a moving performance as a crabby old physicist jumping back decades to prevent his past mistakes. Go to Full Review
John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 04/30/2020
Amusing but off-key in some unhelpful ways, it's a dorky time-killer that doesn't suffer too much for its familiar vibe. Go to Full Review

4/5
This is a film that savours conversational awkwardness and amorous fumblings, and takes its time developing a sentimental payoff. Go to Full Review
Calum Cooper In Their Own League 07/14/2024
“James vs. His Future Self” is defined by its jovial sense of humour and big-hearted messages. Go to Full Review

3/5
In James Vs His Future Self, a time travel-obsessed scientist receives a visit from his future self. Jeremy LaLonde's sci-fi comedy is entertaining, heartwarming and human. Go to Full Review
Dallas King Flick Feast 11/11/2022
4/5
Clearly fans of the genre [the filmmakers] have done their research and due diligence. As treating it as science fiction rather than fantasy, [the time travel] seems plausible and logical... warm, funny and full of heart. Go to Full Review

tom m 12/23/2021 Okay, but the drama between the present & future selves was a bit overblown. See more 05/19/2021 Nice romcom with a lite sci-fi twist. The dialog and acting is especially enjoyable. See more 02/13/2021 Chernick did a great job with the screen play and the acting was great all around. But the driving force of the film was Stern. We know of his comedic skills from City Slickers and Home Alone, and he doesn't disappoint here. Who cares if it's low budget, Canadian, or doesn't have much time travel to it. It was a solid effort start to stop. Thoroughly enjoyed. See more 01/27/2021 Ugh, this is way more of a romance than a time travel movie. See more 01/10/2021 It’s nice to see a low budget time travel movie. Daniel Stern gives a good performance and is easily the best thing about the film. Beyond that this movie is very small and very low budget and very contained with only a few actors and just mumble and jumbo about time travel. Nothing is shown in little as discussed. It’s an all right film but it could’ve been better it’s a little slow moving and not very engaging. Back to the future it’s not. See more 01/06/2021 Low budget and low expectations coming in, great movie, solidly acted and executed. See more Read all reviews
