My Future Boyfriend

Yes, I know, it's cheesy, but sometimes we need that. Another love story and with future involved, maybe it seems too much. But they make it to be sold on. It's funny and cute. And sometimes we are in the mood for that, especially when the actors are not bad taste as you expect it. Michael Lange wrote it well, the lines are good and involving the future is not bad as you may think at the beginning. He keep it simple and most of the times simple is good, right? I know reason vs. love is a packed topic, but you don't think of that during the movie, you just go with the flow. Sara Rue and Barry Watson are good, the others maybe they lack more lines, but I have to remember Valerie Harper also. She is that woman archetype who's good just by being. In movie and in life.

I like Rom Coms and I LOVE Time Travel movies.

That said I've never found a good way to have them together (I don't think the romance factor in some Doctor Who stories can be counted as such).

This movie is not as good as the other reviews say. It's an OK movie. Entertaining enough.

But what I can say is that I liked it MUCH more that Kate & Leopold (the other movie I know of with that combo).

It's also true what other reviewer says, I don't love the ending.

But all in all, it's a good and not too long (75 minutes is a good amount for it).

I really liked this movie. I thought Sara Rue was just fine, as usual. (I've been a fan of hers ever since "Less Than Perfect".) Barry Watson was appealing and his scenes with Rue were quite entertaining and believable. The whole production was enjoyable, light entertainment. And I had no problem with the little twist at the end. I have always enjoyed stories involving time travel if done reasonably well, and this one certainly was. In addition, it did have a few good things to say about love, relationships, and what is really important in life. Great to see Valerie Harper again, and there were a few brief but nice location shots in Savannah, Georgia. I'd give it an 8 out of 10.

I think audiences who love a light comedy, romance and sci-fi chemistry movie will definitely blow out this one ( blast from the past genre)... what amazed me is the actor "Barry Watson" he showed a different side of him which will truly uplifting to his acting career ( at par with the likes of Tom Hanks, Brendan Frasier, Adam Sandler...) Definitely an actor to watch in the future... how he acted out the role opens up a new appeal for his career.. producers out there just might consider Watson for other romantic comedy roles, actors of such classification is rare in the market ... I specially love the part where Watson dance.. its really mind blowing.. i mean he is so funny... Specially how he talks in the movie really captures me... how polite ,well mannered and informative as well .....

But the one minor setback is.. Future people cannot recognize a CAR on sight? i mean really a little boy would have easily recognize one....they could have said "this is a primitive means of transportation which was used on land but since we travel from planet to planet .. it was taken out of the market...catchy lines instead...

Watch it and be amused as i did... touchiing story too.... the light drama captures my emotions in a light perky way...

I didn't have very high hopes for this movie as I sat down to watch it. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself viewing a very appealing film. An anthropologist (Watson) from 1000 years in the future comes back to 2011 to investigate the idea of "love" after finding a well-preserved romance novel written by Sara Rue's character. He is perplexed and intrigued to find himself attracted to Rue who thinks he's completely nuts.

Sara Rue is, as always, a pleasure to watch and Barry Watson had a commitment to his character that really came through. I have to think it takes some skill to be both weird and charming. The two actors had nice chemistry and the screenplay, while not exactly innovative, did display some intelligence. The only criticism I have is that Valerie Harper is WOEFULLY underutilized. She looked great though and definitely held her own with her younger co-stars. All in all, a good viewing experience.
