Blast from the Past (PG-13, 1999)
common sense media says
Adam and Eve comedy isn't good or bad.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this movie has some strong language and some sexual references, including a prostitute of ambiguous gender and adult video stores (nothing shown), and "comic" alcohol abuse (Adam's mother becomes an alcoholic while she is confined to the bomb shelter). Some parents may also be concerned about an addled character who founds a new age style religion based on the belief that Adam and his family are gods. In general, the movie's values are sound, however, emphasizing Eve's essential honesty and her appreciation of Adam's integrity and courtesy.

"Blast from the Past" is a sweet rom-com with great chemistry from the two leads
I've always loved Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone so I think this was a really good movie. There is a fair amount of language in it and some brief sexual innuendo. I thought Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone had great chemistry in it. Dave Foley was really good as Eve's roommate and Brendan's friend. Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek was really good as Brendan's parents. Although I had a bit of trouble with the scenes involving Archbishop Melker. I thought thay was a bit cheesy. It's a sweet romantic-comedy. And Brendan's character is one children could look up to. I rate it on for ages 13+
