Review of Blast from the Past (1999) by Giovanni M — 30 Apr 2013

Hilarious isn't a good enough description of what Brendan Fraser was in this movie. He took comedy to a new level. the script was unbelievably funny. Alicia Silverstone wasn't great in this film, her acting was edgy, but again for her, the script held her up.

Christopher Walken was perfectly cast as the genius, but nuts dad of Adam. The dance scene was excellently directed, showing perfect shots of Eve staring at Adam with jealousy. I love the script, and Adam first experiences 'upstairs', such as when he says "oh my lucky stars, a negro!" His eagerness about everything was so charming and mannerly, you couldn't help but loving his character. I love the soundtrack as well. I think the best line in this movie was what Christopher Walken said to the barman upstairs, who took Walken to be God, and that this line had biblical meaning, chanted, "leave me elevator alone!" Legend.

Brendan Fraser is hilarious as Adam, a thirty five year old man who has never been outside before because his father thought that a bomb was going to hit their house. Adam meets Eve{Alicia Silverstone} and instantly falls in love with her, though it takes longer for her to realize that she loves him too. This is an incrediby funny, but under-rated movie, with excellent acting all round, though I must say, Fraser was probably the best. Fraser's role as Adam is one of the funniest I've ever seen, a definite must-see for all those who love to laugh.
