Fetching Cody

Inner city homeless teenage boy in love with inner city almost homeless teenage dropout who also does some prostituting and drug abuse on the side. The boy is a depressing little guy who likes to take drugs, spaces out, has homeless friends, distrusts authority and lies an awful lot! One day while breaking into his girlfriend Cody's apartment, he finds her unconscious.

Ambulance guys suddenly come in, we don't know who called them. They ask him how long has she been out and he lies and says she just let him in (again with the lies).

She ends up in a coma in the hospital and is near death. This low IQ scum just doesn't get it and goes into denial. Somehow he ends up in a homeless place that has a sofa chair. The sofa chair turns out to be a time/space machine. You tell it where you want to go and it does it.

He goes back to before "Cody got messed up" and finds that she was embarrassed with her period during gym class. After two or so failed attempts to get her tampons he finally succeeds in doing so. Why he thinks Cody going through her period made her quit high school and go on drugs is anyone's guess.

The movie is somewhat endearing and heartwarming. He is guessing on what's up with his druggie girlfriend and going back in time to try to "save" her.

The movie is mildly interesting how Art tries to fix her past to fix her present and goes through all kinds of nonsense to handle her. But it's one of those time travel stories that has changes just make things worse. The final "twist" was predictable, but cute.

It's like a director pretending to be a Kevin Smith movie using a sofa chair time machine, with Tenderloin bums as movie stars.

Mildly recommended.
