Review of Blast from the Past (1999) by Mirza R — 22 Jul 2011
In 1952, in the midst of the Cuban Missile crisis, the fear was nuclear war, so madcap scientist Calvin Webber (Christopher Walken) and his pregnant wife (Sissy Spacek) retreated to their home-away-from-home bomb shelter. They had a baby, Adam, and raised him with good wholesome 60's values. Now 35 years later and with the all clear from Dad, Adam (Brendan Fraser) is stepping out of the shelter and into the nineties... that's one small step for Adam, one giant shock for mankind.
Here Adam, the guy who loves Perry Como records and thinks "gay" means chirpy, is about to meet a worldly 90's babe called Eve (Alicia Silverstone). With names like that you'd think it was the beginning of something divine, but with his taste in clothes and her taste in music, they're worlds - and decades - apart!
Also stars Dave Foley, Joey Slotnik, Dale Raoul, Scott Thomson, Harrison Young and Donovan Scott.
Directed by Hugh Wilson.
