Jeffre L What an absolute joy!! The movie starts a bit...eh...then just turns on the juice for a purely delightful ending!! A true hidden gem Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Devils A This movie is the precursor to another movie that wasn't a good as this one, I give it a 4 & 1/2 star rating!!!! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/22 Full Review Audience Member The cast makes this film. They look like they bonded incredibly close during filming. Really shows throughout. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Talk about being 'late for dinner' In 1962 Willie and his brother-in-law Frank are both running from a crime they didn't commit They leave Santa Fe to escape a land tycoon named Bob Freeman who wants to seize their property to make land development Both of them happen to run into a mad scientist of all things in Los Angeles Willie and Frank are then tricked into being in cryogenic suspension.....and wouldn't you know it they actually wake up 29 years later in the future! Yes you heard that right, these two poor souls actually wake up in another era right out of a science-fiction story Like anybody they are baffled by how much has changed since they've been gone Even Willie's wife, Joy looks the same but with a few years added and she's taken aback by how he hasn't aged a single day The only actors I know in this are Peter Berg of 'Friday Night Lights' and 'Hancock' fame, Marcia Gay-Harden and Peter Gallagher, there's even a young Jeanine Garofalo The movie is all about adjusting to a life long gone and wondering if one can still be had in the present It takes its time so to speak for both these men to come to terms with their dilemma Spends a lot analyzing age, mortality, time passing, moving on, letting go, catching up, falling back into place Yet both leads are excellent playing emotionally-damaged and psychologically-scarred beings immune to time passing along with Harden as a woman who seems to have given up hope The sci-fi element is only a small template for the rest of the story to let the emotions sink in Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review robert p Great and funny little movie, was the basis for Forever Young which is a far less entertaining than this Movie! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A very sweet movie. Yes, not the world's most complex plots, but well acted and consistent.
