I was delighted to find this old favourite on DVD. It's sci-fi but it's charming and funny. It may even appeal to women ;-)
The time-travel plot will not seem so novel to viewers who have seen 4 generations of Star Trek, but this one is the best of its kind. Worth it for the visual gags alone, especially the one with the pub musician...

Well you can't really of course, but on rediscovering a wonder from when I was 18 I felt I had done just that. Transported back to a time when special effects meant less that the storyline and viewers still needed to imagine (who am I kidding - to think), I loved both "flips" all over again. Now I can't speak for every age here, but I do think that if you're my age and enjoyed it way back then, then you'll probably enjoy it again now...
ingenious but also amusing and affectionate

what happens when a man from the future comes back to the present, or at least the early 1980s, to look for his ancestors? the idea is brilliantly conceived and the execution really doesn't seem dated. i first saw it at school, aroudn the time it was made, and remember loving it. watching it again was not a disappointment - and i would even recommend the sequel, included on the DVD, though it's not quite as satisfying as the first part.

I remember seeing this when I was 18 years old, and enjoyed it so much back then. I had always being hoping that it would be shown again on T.V. or released and now finally it has! It still lived up to my expectations and does not look that too out dated. My son also watched it with me and he really enjoyed the story line and mild comedy. If you have not seen this before, and enjoy a little science fiction, then this is a thourougly enjoyable piece of work. Their is also one extra "did you see", which reviews the piece. The sequel another flip is not as good as the first, but still very watchable.
