    Coasting on the successes of Gods and Monsters and George of the Jungle, Brendan Fraser turns in yet another winning performance in this fish-out-of-water comedy in which Pleasantville meets modern-day Los Angeles, with predictably funny results. Fraser stars as Adam, who was born in the bomb shelter of his paranoid inventor dad (a less-manic-than-usual Christopher Walken), who spirited his pregnant wife (Sissy Spacek, in fine comic form) underground when he thought the Communists dropped the bomb (actually, it was a plane crash). Armed with enough supplies to last 35 years, the parents bring up Adam in Leave It to Beaver style with nary any exposure to the outside world. When the supplies run out, and dad suffers a heart attack, Fraser goes up to modern-day L.A. for some shopping and long-awaited culture shock. More of a cute premise with lots of clever ideas attached than a fully fleshed out story, Blast from the Past is also supposed to be part romantic comedy, as the hunky Adam hooks up with his jaded Eve (Alicia Silverstone) and tries to convince her to marry him and go underground. The sparks don't fly, though, because Silverstone is saddled with the triple whammy of being miscast, playing an underwritten character, and suffering a very bad hairdo. Fraser, however, carries the film lightly and easily on his broad, goofy shoulders, mixing Adam's gee-whiz innocence with genuine emotion and curiosity; only Fraser could pull off Adam's first glimpse of a sunrise or the ocean with both humor and pathos. Also winning is Dave Foley as Silverstone's gay best friend, who manages to make the most innocuous statements sound like comic gems. --Mark Englehart

    5 out of 5 stars Awsome   January 30, 2010
    Lance Taylor (Salt Lake City. Utah, USA)
    It was awsome! A very funny send up of the time of the Cuabn missle crisis. Good choice of actors, Brendan Fraser and Alicia Siverstone have the comedic skills and the romantic chemistry to pull off a fantastic performance.


    5 out of 5 stars Love this movie!!!   November 21, 2009
    K. MASON (Connecticut)
    This is a great movie. It is accurate as to the way of life and the fears of the 50's. I have watched it many times and will watch it many times more, always laughing.


    5 out of 5 stars A fun way to waste 90 minutes   October 3, 2009
    Andrew F (Seattle, WA)
    Without Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken as the parents, this movie would not have been anywhere near as funny as it is. In the beginning, Spacek and Walken, eccentric in their own ways, take a ridiculous premise and make it believable enough that you could let yourself buy into the storyline. Brendon Fraisor does a decent turn as the son, though his acting verges on a one dimensional note. Alicia Silverstone does the cute love ineterest well enough, but her performance is not as entertaining as in clueless. These is an exceedlingly likeable film with likeable characters, and where even the ex-boyfriend isn't that bad. A fun movie!


    5 out of 5 stars a lot of fun,all time favorite   August 28, 2009
