I keep watching this! Has so much charm.

Blast from the Past has a good premise, predictable, but fine. Walken is great, Fraser is serviceable, and Silverstone is lovely.

Can someone tell me what happened to Alicia Silverstone's career? She was pretty, cute, not a bad actress, has a great smile, good screen presence. She could be doing Kate Hudson/Drew Barrymore type rom-coms in the 2000s, and it wouldn't be any worse. Yet her career never caught on. I thought she would be the next big star after Clueless, and yet she never caught on.

2 questions, how does 1999 look like 1990 and why was Brendan Fraser ever famous?
In every movie he is found and released onto an un-suspecting public...with hilarious results (California Man, George & The Jungle)
Playing dumb to sight gagsI guess he enjoyed being typecast or atleast thought he did it well?
Anyway Walken was awkward as ever, a clunky and god awful movie.
The Star is for Walken by the way.

This is one of the movies that I accidentally stumbled upon in my teenage years, and for the longest time I had only watched the last 2/3rds of the movie, but I still loved it. When I got it on DVD, I finally watched the whole thing from start to finish, and it is a very heart warming, sweet, "fish out of water" story, which I will never get bored of re-watching. Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek are amazing as the overly paranoid parents and Brendan Fraser is very good as a confused, gullible man, who has over-night stepped from the cold war era into the late 90s.

There are many funny jokes, situations, and good performances all around. Definitely deserves a recommendation from me.

I watched this again on tv recently when I couldn't sleep. It's a cute idea but once Adam gets out of the shelter (and away from the awesome Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken), the movie gets boring and predictable.

You know, this is a good movie. I feel like this is definitely one of those forgotten movies, but it's a very enjoyable light romantic comedy. The cast is great (Joey Slotnick!), the humor is smart and clever, and Fraser and Silverstone have very nice chemistry together. It's not a masterpiece, but it's worth seeing.

Underrated and quirky. This was one of the 1,000 films of the 90's where Brendan Fraser plays a lovable buffoon. I miss Alicia Silverstone.

This is not exactly a masterpiece but it does what it does well. The actors are good, the story fun and simple (if a bit far fetched) and you have a fun movie that does not try to be anything else but what it is. Not sure how many time I have seen this movie and yet never actually own it. It's just seem to be on TV so often

1 out of 5 (D)

A real guilty pleasure movie for me. I think you may have to be a certain age to "get" this movie. I grew up during the cold war and fallout shelters were something we talked about in school along with ducking under the desk in the event of nuclear attack. So this fantasy about a family trapped in a shelter just resonated with me. Throw in a great performances by Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek, a small role by Nathan Fillion completes it for me.
