The Age of Commercialism

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Great Movie. Once again the critics have proved they are for the most part IDIOTS! This is a great movie, a great love story! More proof that if the critics hate it, you should really see it!!! Great early performances by Marcia Gay Hardin, Peter Berg, Brian Wimmer and Peter Gallagher. Great movie for the hopeless romantics in the world. Excellent premise. Opens the question of "what if". Could this really happen? Has this happened already? Is this proof of science gone mad? Excellent date movie for anyone in love or for anyone that has ever been in love. I highly recommend this movie to anyone ages twenty to one-hundred and twenty. Almost impossible to find as a rental but well worth the search! Why this movie has not been re-released on DVD is beyond me, especially with the advancing careers of Harden and Berg.

It's simple... but it's full of complex human emotion. What if? Consider a couple, caught in events beyond their control, separated by time (29 years to be exact), and reunited. Can true love withstand that kind of test? With the aid of the love of a brother and sister, and the unbreakable bond of father and daughter, and a few extra twists thrown in... well, almost anything is possible.Our family considers this one of the few, unblemished perfect stories. I just don't understand why they've never seen fit to release it on DVD, as our VHS copy is starting to wear awfully thin. However... what a joy to share this with friends that have never seen it. The reaction is always the same... "How is it I've never heard of this?"Oddly enough, this really is a science fiction. But that's just a minor plot device (fun though!) to help ask the questions about true love, family, friendship, honesty, devotion... oh it's just a goldmine of warm fuzzies.If this movie needs an evangelist to carry it's message... I'll happily volunteer. See it... and love it like we do.

I just recently saw this film and enjoyed it thoroughly. It was not what I had expected. So many of the "freeze 'em" films take a comic or campy approach. But this film tries to deal with the actual problems that could arise if a person were able to disappear and then reappear some 30 years later. A nice treatment of the question.

When Willy and his brother in law Frank (Peter Berg) who is intellectually disabled run into some trouble after a misunderstanding with a land developer (Peter Gallager), which leaves Willy injured and the land developer dead, they leave there home town of Santa Fe and travel to California, where they are helped by a Dr who asks Frank if he could have a really good nights sleep and wake up with a new kidney (Frank has health problems besides his disability), would he be willing to try it, Frank wholeheartedly agrees accept Willy and Frank are cryongenically frozen and woken up 29 years later after the tanks they are in become damaged from a cable reel falling through the roof of the warehouse they are in, They then embark on a journey home to Santa Fe to get there lives back, however what they once had may not be so easy to get back, as they discover. This movie although not a smash hit or a box office hit, was in my mind quite good, Peter Gallager as the slimey land developer delivers a steller performance and Peter Berg as Frank delivers one of his best performances to date, though I am biased in that regard as I absolutely love this actor and have been following his career religiously for a while now. I'd recomend this film to all audiences, young and old.
