    Relaxing to watch on a Sunday afternoon

    If you are looking for one of those films that will fill-in a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon, then this is it. The plot is pretty thin, but there are some well known faces that carry off the roles well, and will even give you a few laughs.

    Most of the time watching the film, you spend thinking "was life really like that in the 80's - I thought we were so cool".

    Anyhow, the plot centres around a time machine and a couple of office workers trying to use it to get rid of their boss (by making sure he was never born).

    so much fun

    This film is very, very funny. It's one of a very small number of films I've seen more than twice. I'love it. It begins in the future in a german patent office. An inventor has developed a machine that makes it possible to travel through the time. Frank and Xaver (employees at the office) want to use this possibility to avoid the siring of there bad boss what has happened on the canarian islands in summer 1988 to get rid of him. They use the time machine and due to some circumstances Michael Winslow happens to join them on their trip. They find the lady they assume to be the mother of their boss quickly and follow her. She's of course one of the most beautiful women and everybody wants to have her what makes it nearly impossible for our friends to find out who might be the one to "make" her boss. They undergo many adventures to finally change the future..... They take care for the wrong woman. Michael Winslow meets the future Mother while separated from the others and does not get to be in the right place when their time on the canarians is over. He'll be the father of there bad (and now colored and as funny as his (well known) father) boss.

    Back to the ... past

    This is quite insane, but in a way can also be lovely. It also is not a sequel story wise, only in title and has again the same trio the first one had. They play different characters and they have a mission. Well two of them seem to have one. To alter the past ... but you know this is a comedy so ... do rules apply or do you just go with the flow? The actors obviously had fun.

    And while this is mainly and mostly German, some of the stars of the era were international and were dubbed. I do wonder if they said their text phonetically, so the lip movement matched the things they were saying. Very lovely cast then including Police Academys Michael Winslow and the ultimate looking for Freedom star David Hasselhoff.

    Having said that all, the movie did not care about sensitivities, like racially charged jokes and all that. This is as silly as it can get ... but with a few good twists to hold your attention for most of the time. Don't take it seriously and never mind Gottschalk not being able to act if his life depended on it
