Back to the Future Movie Review

When neighborhood mad scientist Doc Brown constructs a time machine from a DeLorean, his youthful companion Marty accidentally transports himself to 1955. There, Marty inadvertently alters the events leading up to his own birth, and must do everything he can to bring his parents back together so he can be born on schedule. At the same time, he has to elude the local bully, and he's still got to get back to his own time! Solid, fast-paced entertainment is even better due to Christopher Lloyd's wonderful performance as the loony Doc while Michael J. Fox is perfect as the boy completely out of his element. Followed by two sequels.
