Back to the Future | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Just when it would seem that Steven Spielberg has touched all possible forms of fantasy, he comes up with another one that not only plucks, but plays a complete symphony, on the heartstrings.

Remember how Huck Finn daydreamed about going to his own funeral? Back to the Future does an inverse, witty turnabout on this theme.

Michael J. Fox is bright and likeable, convincing as a 17-year-old, and excellent when he introduces rock-and-roll to a stunned high school audience only just getting over doo wop.

Despite the frequent laughs, I came out of the movie vaguely dissatisfied. I expected something more original from this... and from Zemeckis, who proved in Romancing The Stone that he can produce fresh, witty and entertaining pictures.
