Trivia:
As a fun inclusion for the fans, the light-blue Chevy pickup with the "sidestep" bed is just like the one the kids in "Red Dawn" used to escape into the woods, and "Red Dawn" is also the movie that inspires Blaine, the chief antagonist, to believe that the time travelers might actually be some kind of "21 Jump street communist spy battalion type dudes."See more »

I was a little skeptical when I heard the name of this movie, but it actually turned out to be very funny. The laughs were all in the right spots, hit the right notes, and kept on coming. What more can you ask for in a comedy? What I particularly enjoyed was how they played off the clichés that are usually associated with time travel movies. Also, the eighties references weren't ridiculous; they were just enough to make it work, and it seems like the writers did a lot of weeding to pick only the jokes that worked. Very refreshing since there are so many idiotic comedies that think they're more funny than they are. John Cusack was good as always, and the rest of the cast did an excellent job. In fact, I think I could safely say that this was not a John Cusack movie, but rather an ensemble movie that didn't really have a weak link. There were also a few moments (I won't spoil them) that were excellent references and surprises. This one is a must-see if you just want to have a fun night out and laugh.
