TV Guide

Has an intangibly charming goofiness about it that is somehow endearing: here is a movie about teenagers that contains no excessive profanity, no drug references, and no explicit sexual activity. Full Review

This movie is horribly cheesy, 80's style and had me rolling my eyes. There are also tons of plot holes. Still, I was laughing through the entire film. 4 out of 5 stars. Read and rate it

A blast from the past

I recently watched this favorite of mine from the 80s and remembered what a fun and cool movie it is. Keanu Reeves is goofy as he and his pal time travel thru different time periods. Very enjoyable! Read and rate it
