An average movie

Francis Ford Coppola completely ruled the 70's but it was as much a blessing as it was a curse. I mean, basically, for each movie he made afterwards, the audience was expecting another 'Godfather' or another 'Apocalypse now'. Well, it never happened and with each new release directed by him, his reputation continued to diminish and, nowadays, he is pretty much considered a has-been. Personally, I think it's a shame because he has actually made some decent flicks which are terribly overlooked and this movie is a perfect example. I mean, I’m not a huge fan and it is definitely nothing amazing whatsoever but I thought it was rather harmless and fairly entertaining. In fact, it reminded me of ‘Back to The Future’. Indeed, if you remove all the fancy gadgets, the plots are actually quite similar and maybe that’s why I had a hard time to get into this story. Indeed, I never really get this obsession to go back to the American 60’s as if it was the best time period ever. Anyway, to conclude, I thought it was a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Francis Ford Coppola’s work.
