Two interns and a lovesick magazine reporter follow up on a crazy old classified ad requesting a partner for time travel.

It's not exactly a time-travel movie, science fiction, a comedy or a romance or a romantic comedy, but it does have a light dusting of everything. It's "okay".

Based on a joke published as a classified advertisement in Backwoods Home - (1997 magazine), by John Silveira

Artificial intelligence is created but is somehow only used as a personal assistant.

Awkward and slow, and so lacking in intellectual merit as to make it far too weak a story. Science fiction chick flicks are fucking weak.

As always, Send a philosopher.

A pair of scientists learn they can push electrons back in time and can send emails.

Calm, enthralling, and deeply moving. This movie does all the right things with science fiction and time travel. It keeps the core values of the characters, lets things make just enough sense to have the audience both engaged, confused and planning ahead, and has a romantic streak to it.

Highly recommended!

The title is Terug Naar Morgen in the Dutch language.
This movie is entirely in the Dutch language.

A brainwashed daughter and her manipulative mother practice a con to satisfy their hypergamy, but love gets in the way.

Mediocre, but worth a watch if you're fairly interested. It has some moments, but it's got a kind of campy attitude. While it has a plot, it hand-waves plot-critical character decisions. For me, this wasn't even a bubblegum-movie. It hurt my brain to sit through it, and only the blistering hotness of Jennifer Love Hewitt could keep me interested.
