    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 upbr...

    This was made in 99.

    I absolutely loved Blast from the Past! Its 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? Hes just brilliant as alwayshe 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. Its not trying to be overly realistic, and thats okay because the movie embraces its silliness in the best way. Despite the crazy premise, the script actually worksits lighthearted, funny, and has just the right amount of emotional ...
