17 year old Marty McFly got home early last night. 30 years early.
Michael J. Fox stars as Marty McFly, a typical American teenager of the Eighties accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean "time machine" invented by slightly mad scientist Christopher Lloyd.
During his often hysterical, always amazing trip back in time, Marty must make certain his teenage parents-to-be, Crispin Glover and Lea Thompson, meet and fall in love - so he can get back to the future.

There are plenty of laughs, some you need to know the context behind them, but if you've seen enough of the pop culture of the time then that isn't an issue. The good thing though is that there are enough jokes to laugh at and enjoy, some fun action and a funny moment involving manure that repeats in the future instalments of this trilogy.
Back to the Future is a fun movie, one that I can't wait for the kids to be a little older so they can watch it with me.

Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max's charismatic brother, Brooks, arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and faux federal agents.
