Review of Late for Dinner (1991) by Eric L — 03 Apr 2009
The story is abt two best friends, a man and his brother in law who got cryonically frozen in the sixties and woke up in the nineties, 29 years later. plotwise, it is full of holes. it kind of ended abruptly.
surprisingly it is touching at times. one poignant comment by one of the character, the purpose of time was so that a lot of things don't have to happen at the same time, which is the overwhelming feeling they got when they ended up in a different time when they were frozen.
the movie try to imply that true love transcend time. The guy found that his daughter have grown up with a family of her own, while his wife have grown older and have struggle with the problem of his disappearance.
To them they have only sleep and wake up for a few days but to others around them they have gone for decades...
