Review Date is June 17, 2002
Adventure/Action/Comedy-Marty McFly is an average teen with a nice girl and a nice skateboard and wants a car. He visits his friend Doc Brown, an eccentric scientist, every morning. When one morning Doc calls Marty to come to the Twin Pine Mall, Doc shows Marty a time machine made out of a DeLorean car. Some unfourtunate events occur, and Marty ends up going back through time. He meets his loner dad George, bullied by bully Biff who still bullies him in today's (1985's) time, and beautiful (future) wife of George, Lorraine. However, Marty stops the two from meeting, and he must help get George and Lorraine together while going back from 1955 with help of past Doc Brown.
9/10-A classic movie. I love Chris Lloyd, and this is one of his best roles. It rivals with my favorite movie (Clue, which also stars Chris) of 1985. Mike is fine in here, but nobody believes that a 24-year-old is actually 16. The other actors were fine here. But, the saving grace of this is the confusing plot and the humor. Chris can deliver some one-liners, and the going "back to the future" is a classic. Also, much of the humor comes from changes in time (not exactly anachronisms). Check the name of the mall both times it is shown, for instance.
Rated PG for language.
