Featured review
This film sets out to do its thing and then sticks with it. In terms of a film experience, most of what I didn't like was almost certainly intentional in its mimicking of films from that era. I'm not a fan of those but I can't fault Future '38 for having the integrity to stick with them.
Most of the obvious visual comedy fell flat for me but the film more than makes up for it and is worth watching alone simply for the wonderfully 1940s banter, especially that as delivered by the two leads.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn the wall at the Keystone is an "old" newspaper story that says the Brooklyn Dodgers won the 1986 World Series. The subtitle of the article reads, "Dodgers Will be in NYC Forever, Vow Owners." In reality, the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, and the New York Mets, from Brooklyn's neighboring borough of Queens, won the 1986 World Series defeating the Boston Red Sox 4-3.
- Crazy creditsThere is a brief post-credits scene.
