My Future Boyfriend

"My Future Boyfriend" is a romantic comedy in the true sense of the genre. And it is a movie that heavily appeals to a female audience.

The story is about Pax (played by Barry Watson)who is an archaeologist in the future where he unearths money from 2012 along with novel written by Elizabeth Barrett (played by Sara Rue). Reading the novel, Pax comes upon the word 'love' which is not used in the future (oddly enough), and decides to travel back in time to meet the author and learn the truth about love.

I must say that, despite being a man, then I found the movie to be good, it had a nice story, and the storyline was really helped along so nicely by Sara Rue and Barry Watson's acting and the chemistry there was between them on the screen.

"My Future Boyfriend" was nicely shot and there was a lot of nice scenes in the movie, along with the marvelous beauty of New Orleans serving as the setting. (Although the movie was filmed in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia.)

Of course, the movie is rather predictable, and the ending, well you saw that coming a mile away. But still, the movie worked out well enough. Good romantic entertainment with the occasional laugh here and there. So if you like sugar-coated romantic comedies, then you should check out "My Future Boyfriend" because it might just be what you were looking for.

Perhaps you will even find yourself leaking (as to use one of the terms from the movie).

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).

Usually movies on ABC Family are a bit too dramatic for me and I usually avoid them at all costs but I really enjoyed this movie. I'm a sucker for time-traveling movies. Not only is it a time-traveling/sci-fi movie it also has just the right amount of romance in it. Not too much and not enough, a perfect balance! As a teenage tom-boy I'm not usually much for "romantic movies" but this one just won me over completely. I don't really want to say anymore because it's such a great TV movie and I'm afraid I might say too much (it happens all the time). Anywho, if you're in the mood for a good, funny yet romantic movie I'd recommend this one most defiantly.

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.

It's hard to find anything wrong with this movie. It's a fun fantasy...joyful, endearing, and *short* (clocking into a two-hour time slot at one hour and fifty minutes, *including* commercials).

Sara Rue is delightful, as usual, and looking great, as usual. (I thought she looked great even before her weight loss.) Her presence has never failed to brighten any production in which I've seen her.

Barry Watson plays "future boyfriend" Pax ("peace" in Latin) to perfection, with just the right amount of out-of-time awe. (In his time, the 32nd century, Earth has "evolved" into a "perfect" world without anger or strife, but also without passion or love.)

Set in New Orleans, the locale enables Pax to experience its renowned jazz music, giving rise to unknown feelings and leaving him less robotic in behavior.

Fred Willard, too, whose roles too often demand an over-the-top performance, comes in with just the right level of comedic inflection.

I even laughed at the wee bit of slapstick herein, a form which usually passes by me unappreciated.

All in all, watching this is a mood-lifter and time well-spent.
