Cool Car Evaluation

Decent Essays

A cool car, good rock music, and terrific actors...what more do you need for the backbone of a good movie? The complex script of a teenager going back in time and meeting his parents when they were teenagers is simple enough for an elementary child to follow as proven by my two young boys who watched it over and over.
