James vs. His Future Self

I really enjoyed this movie, I watched it streaming on Amazon Prime.

The theme is time travel and the physics they discuss is pretty close to authentic physics. They mention CERN and the Large Hadron Collider, and not surprisingly used a theoretical physicist, a professor, as a consultant.

Younger James (actor was about 45) is consumed with developing his theories and eventual method of time travel when this older guy (actor was 61) shows up claiming to be him at an older age. He has a unique way of proving it, comparing unique markings on their Johnsons. In other movies it might have come across as too juvenile but here it worked.

So James and this new guy, "uncle Jimmy", go back and forth and create some unusual and mostly humorous situations. And of course there is a girl involved, and James must get his priorities straight. That is why his older self is there, to convince him.

Fun, entertaining movie.

It's a fun idea, and it all begins well enough but we're soon completely trapped in every standard romcom cliché. I honestly don't understand why people go through all the time and effort and costs of making a movie when you're just going to take the predictable route so many movies have done before.

I usually don't waste my time on anything rated less than 6.5.users are usually on point...but this time completely wrong. 5.7? Are you kidding me...this is definitely worth higher. Maybe if you were expecting a serious sci Fi thriller then you will be disappointed, but even if you were, and were then suprises by an emotionally intelligent film with good acting then you would definitely rate it higher. So glad I didn't listen to you negative reviwers.

Whoever does not like this movie is insane. It really teaches you to just appreciate life now. Even with all this coronavirus stuff going on now, why not appreciate what we have. Our wives, families, friends, God, our own lives, etc. We have so much to be appreciative and thankful for and I think this movie just kinda takes you away out of this reality we're living in now and helps you to be more thankful. At least that's what I got out of it.

Not what I expected, I figured there'd be more conflict in this film, but was actually very mild. The film has its moments of funny moments, but not quite on the high comedy level. For what it is, it's still a good movie; not great, but good enough. All and all, Stern was great in this movie; probably his best work in over 20 years! I hope he continues making hidden gems like this one.
