**The crazy story and wacky lovable characters make Blast from the Past a one-of-a-kind rom-com delight everyone needs to see.** One of the best romcoms you have probably never heard of.

What a crazy concept! I haven't seen another movie like it. Its clever, hila…

I absolutely loved Blast from the Past! It’s one of those movies that just leaves you feeling warm and happy. Brendan Fraser is fantastic in this; he nails the charm and innocence of Adam, making him such a lovable character. And Christopher Walken?

The story, while completely ridiculous, is part of what makes it so fun. It’s not trying to be overly realistic, and that’s okay because the movie embra…
