A man returns home after being frozen for many years. He finds his daughter is grown and hears what happened to his wife. While explaining something the daughter mentions Ronald Reagan. The man, who has been frozen and unaware of the past 25 years, says "You mean Ronald Reagan the movie actor?" She says "He was the president." The man says "You mean, President of the movie people?" She replies "Worse. President of everyone." For that insult and for the smugness of the Hollywood Left I give this movie one lousy star and IMO that is rating it far too high. I have had it up to here with having Hollywood push their smarmy views on everyone and that includes even in a lousy made for TV movie like this. The people who wrote or 'acted' that scene share in the blame for this utter lack of class.

Boring, boring, boring. Predictable in every way. The time travel angle was not at all exploited for drama nor comedy, which made it less believable than "Back to the Future". "Wow, this telephone has push buttons! I shall evoke laffs by trying to move my finger in a rotary fashion over them." "What's that? It's an airplane! This world is amazing!" Much worse, the two main characters were not sympathetic; they were losers and I didn't care at all what happened to them. The retarded brother angle didn't evoke any sympathy either; rather than make me care about their lives and care that they overcome great odds to avoid unjust persecution, etc., I would have preferred that they both contract cryogenic cancer and die. Quickly. Bored, I walked out of the theater, which I *never* do.

Great Movie. Once again the critics have proved they are for the most part IDIOTS! This is a great movie, a great love story! More proof that if the critics hate it, you should really see it!!! Great early performances by Marcia Gay Hardin, Peter Berg, Brian Wimmer and Peter Gallagher. Great movie for the hopeless romantics in the world. Excellent premise. Opens the question of "what if". Could this really happen? Has this happened already? Is this proof of science gone mad? Excellent date movie for anyone in love or for anyone that has ever been in love. I highly recommend this movie to anyone ages twenty to one-hundred and twenty. Almost impossible to find as a rental but well worth the search! Why this movie has not been re-released on DVD is beyond me, especially with the advancing careers of Harden and Berg.

I had never seen this actor, Brian Wimmer, before, but he did a fantastic job in this movie. Peter Berg was great as the sick and somewhat "slow" brother in law. It is a movie that would make any person look back to 1962 and and make you wonder about all how you would accept all this new technology if you suddenly woke up in 1991. It was even a little scary but I have seen it three times and finally taped it. I was at Edwards AFB in 1962 and had a cousin in Pomona that I visited often, and my uncle had a blue Ford Station wagon, so this put me closer to the movie than most people. The fact that Willie did not age and when he went back to Santa Fe to all the new changes, that was spooky. Then when he saw his wife, so much older, I felt so sorry for the time he had lost. Great movie #10.
