James vs. His Future Self

It's a fun idea, and it all begins well enough but we're soon completely trapped in every standard romcom cliché. I honestly don't understand why people go through all the time and effort and costs of making a movie when you're just going to take the predictable route so many movies have done before.

Whoever does not like this movie is insane. It really teaches you to just appreciate life now. Even with all this coronavirus stuff going on now, why not appreciate what we have. Our wives, families, friends, God, our own lives, etc. We have so much to be appreciative and thankful for and I think this movie just kinda takes you away out of this reality we're living in now and helps you to be more thankful. At least that's what I got out of it.

I really enjoyed this movie, I watched it streaming on Amazon Prime.

The theme is time travel and the physics they discuss is pretty close to authentic physics. They mention CERN and the Large Hadron Collider, and not surprisingly used a theoretical physicist, a professor, as a consultant.

Younger James (actor was about 45) is consumed with developing his theories and eventual method of time travel when this older guy (actor was 61) shows up claiming to be him at an older age. He has a unique way of proving it, comparing unique markings on their Johnsons. In other movies it might have come across as too juvenile but here it worked.

So James and this new guy, "uncle Jimmy", go back and forth and create some unusual and mostly humorous situations. And of course there is a girl involved, and James must get his priorities straight. That is why his older self is there, to convince him.

Fun, entertaining movie.

One of the reasons that I love comedy genre is that they teach us valuable lessons. For example, I learned a lot from the movie . This is the story of a scientist who is obsessed with his work which is inventing the time travel. As the title shows his future version travels back to change what he did in the past. The story is very well-written. The plays are one level below the story. The usage of background music and movements of the camera could be improved. The scenes and locations are diverse. In summary, this will be a good choice for comedy fans.

I got 30 seconds into the Trailer and knew that I had to watch this film. It really didn't disappoint. I'd put it up there with films like Super or American Splendor. There are certain films that you can enjoy but know that you could live without, this isn't one of those films.

I loved every character in this except for the younger James at certain moments because he is just so infuriating. He can be having the perfect moment and just ruin it in an instant.

The film is about love and friendship, it is a truly romantic film along the lines of Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. It's a person torn between his life's work and the love of his life. It's got laugh out loud moments but I wouldn't call it a Comedy. It's just a great film.

I took a star off a perfect score because there was a slight moment in the film towards the end that I didn't think was necessary. It doesn't take away from the film but it felt a little forced. I loved this film though and I can see me watching it many times in the future.
