**The crazy story and wacky lovable characters make Blast from the Past a one-of-a-kind rom-com delight everyone needs to see.** One of the best romcoms you have probably never heard of. With its original and unique story, Blast from the Past charms audiences with its zany fish-out-of-water premise and fun cast. Brenden Fraser's lovable innocent, and ignorant character delights as this literally sheltered young man leaves home (a bomb shelter he had lived in his entire life) and enters the world for the first time. What a crazy concept! I haven't seen another movie like it. Its clever, hilarious, and even a little inspiring, with Fraser's Adam restoring some hope and care in the hearts of his newfound jaded friends through his 1960s upbringing and manners. The goofy side characters and outrageous story make Blast from the Past a laugh-out-loud delight that everyone can enjoy for a stay-in date night movie. My wife always includes this film in her favorite movies of all time.

This was made in 99. Imagine what would happen if it was made today, in 2020, where people would shriek at them and the media would dig into their past to find anything they could smear them with while claiming that they are evil incarnate just because they are Boomers and the Greatest Generation... ... that would be a seriously depressing film. Instead it was made in 99 when they could make fun of BOTH the current culture and the past culture in a juxtaposition that is both hysterical and heart warming while making an interesting culture point that is under-played because the point of this is a comedy and the moral message takes a back seat to entertainment because, it was 99, when movies were made to entertain first and foremost. Yeah, you couldn't see this made today because Hollywood would feel compelled to make a point to paint every in the fallout shelter as evil. But, in 99, it was hysterical escapism.

I only watched this movie because I have a major crush on Alicia Silverstone. Turned out to be a awesome movie and one of my favorites of all time.

I absolutely loved Blast from the Past! It’s one of those movies that just leaves you feeling warm and happy. Brendan Fraser is fantastic in this; he nails the charm and innocence of Adam, making him such a lovable character. And Christopher Walken? He’s just brilliant as always—he brings so much personality to the role, balancing his quirky and serious sides perfectly. Honestly, both of them were spot-on and made the movie so enjoyable. The story, while completely ridiculous, is part of what makes it so fun. It’s not trying to be overly realistic, and that’s okay because the movie embraces its silliness in the best way. Despite the crazy premise, the script actually works—it’s lighthearted, funny, and has just the right amount of emotional depth to keep you invested. It’s definitely one of those feel-good films you can watch again and again. Sure, it’s a bit out there, but that’s part of its charm. If you’re looking for something heartwarming and entertaining, this movie hits all the right notes.
