The Wrong Todd

I really liked this and it was a fun idea for a film. All the acting was very good and made it believable which is so important in a film like this, otherwise it could easily have gone to pieces but it held up very well. Kudos to everyone involved - very well done.

I stumbled across this film on cable (satellite) and am glad I did. The special effects/sets were sometimes laughably low-budget (I am sure that Christmas lights and a Lite-Brite were used to make the control panels) but the acting and story were good.

Someone skewed the ratings by voting 20 times for one star. Come on!

The average should be at least in the sevens.

This is what ultra low-budget movie-making should be. I watched this with 2 other people, and everyone enjoyed it. Don't expect hard sci-fi or an actual explanation of how the parallel universe travel works, you will not find it here, that is not what this film is about. Of the many low-budget films I watch, this is one I can easily recommend and it deserves much wider viewership. The acting is above average, the script is solid, the concept is fun, it doesn't take itself seriously, it knows how goofy it's plot is, and it is a movie that is clean without gruesome moments or nudity.

Both Todd's are well-played, in fact. Jesse Rosen does a fantastic job here. The weakest acting in the movie probably comes from Anna Rizzo who plays Lucy, I feel she overplays things in the first half a bit, borderline scenery chewing, although I reall did dislike her at first, which was kind of the point. Both Todd and Lucy are not the most likeable of sorts, typical self-centered lower-middle class folk I guess. Dave is probably my favorite character, he's actually a pretty great character in both universes, for different reasons, and this is thanks to some solid acting from Sean Charmichael.

For the most part, the changes in the characters throughout the movie are believable, maybe a little convenient for the plot, ut still believable. This movie is easily a solid 7. The sound mixing is good, the lighting is good, the camera work isn't ad no great cinematography, but it works fine, the music is okay, but nothing is distracting to the point it takes away from the story, which is what this movie is about. It is meant to be some visual extravaganza, if I could compare it to another film, I would compare it to the no budget time travel film "Making Time", although this came out first and is better made. If you like this film, I do recommend that one as well, both are good date night movies.

I would love to see more films like this, too many low-budget movies go for the easy and are just horror films, but it is absolutely possible to make about any genre on a low or no-budget if you want to.

Clever and very well done..... Excellent acting..... Anna Rizzo really stands out... Gorgeous girl next door kind of look.... Definitely worthwhile and definitely deserves a much higher rating!!!

Bottom line: The Wrong Todd is worth watching. It's not as crazy or as elaborate as I was hoping, but it was really fun and enjoyable.

I waited a little too long to review The Wrong Todd so a lot of the details are fuzzy, but it was a great experience. It's not the most elaborate parallel universe movie that you'll see, but it was fun the whole way through and I think it probably lands in the 6-7/10 range.

I do remember some of the logic being a bit hand-waived away, and some of the character's interactions being a bit stilly, but it still came together to be really fun. I just wish they'd gone a little crazier with the engineer character they introduce in the opening.
