The Wrong Todd

Bottom line: The Wrong Todd is worth watching. It's not as crazy or as elaborate as I was hoping, but it was really fun and enjoyable.

I waited a little too long to review The Wrong Todd so a lot of the details are fuzzy, but it was a great experience. It's not the most elaborate parallel universe movie that you'll see, but it was fun the whole way through and I think it probably lands in the 6-7/10 range.

I do remember some of the logic being a bit hand-waived away, and some of the character's interactions being a bit stilly, but it still came together to be really fun. I just wish they'd gone a little crazier with the engineer character they introduce in the opening.

I was actually surprised how good this show was. No sex, very little profanity, a little drinking...but over all pretty clean.

Poor guy gets stuck in an alternative reality after his other self takes over his reality.

I stumbled across this film on cable (satellite) and am glad I did. The special effects/sets were sometimes laughably low-budget (I am sure that Christmas lights and a Lite-Brite were used to make the control panels) but the acting and story were good.

Someone skewed the ratings by voting 20 times for one star. Come on!

The average should be at least in the sevens.

In the movie's defense, I didn't watch the whole thing.

But I didn't miss a thing.

I skipped about 2/3rds of the movie and couldn't tell that I had skipped anything. The movie was slow, and it was enough to keep me interested, but slow enough to be frustrating. So - I started skipping.

I watched the opening, the very middle, and the tail end. And I left feeling like I had seen the whole thing. I didn't have any questions.

Okay, enough of the cons.

This movie was interesting enough to keep me from turning it off. The idea was interesting, the characters different, and it had a somewhat fun vibe.

Every now and then something moderately funny was said. A couple of times I actually laughed.

But it was still way too long. I shouldn't have been able to skip so much and not missed it. Or had been frustrated with the pace.

I gave it a 3/10 for being enough that I didn't turn it off.

I'm shocked this film only has a 5.1. It seems to me the only thing wrong with it is its low budget which IMO you can't hold against the film, as it was clearly a labor of love.

What I watched was a clever, charming little film that entertained me from beginning to end and I cannot wait to see what the director does next.
