Blast from the Past 3 stars (Out of 4) Reviewed by Mac VerStandig critic@moviereviews.org http://www.moviereviews.org October 17, 1999 Available for rental - November 30, 1999
Blast From the Past is the type of totally innocuous film where the viewer is neither better nor worse for having watched. The movie is about a family that locks itself in a fallout shelter in 1962, fearing that the Cuban Missile Crisis will lead to nuclear holocaust. 35 years later, the doors unlock and out comes the son that was born underground. His experiences of Los Angeles are equally humorous and telling of the times. Don't worry if you miss this one; I doubt anyone other than the guy who programs the HBO marathons will remember it in a few years.
