I'm a huge Ryan Reynolds fan, and have been told I sound like him, both in voice and in humor.

Ryan Reynolds plays a man from the future who travels back in time and meets the 12-year-old version of himself. The similar mannerisms between the older and younger Adam is well rehearsed, as is their sarcastic comebacks.

Both characters have recent darkness in their lives, and even though the plot has nothing to do with them helping each other to get through their personal hardships, just being around each other helps them to a small degree of recovery. Meanwhile, bad guys from the future are trying to find the older Adam, while school bullies enjoy beating up the younger Adam.

A good balance of comedy and fight/flight scenes. There's some sci-fi knowledge about time travel required to understand a few later parts, and the futuristic weapons are very cool (especially the lightsaber that "isn't a lightsaber.").

But, the second half of the movie (when the older and younger Adam travel together to yet another point in time) doesn't make much sense. There's no logical reason for why the younger Adam has to travel through time, nor why he is even still in the movie (his lines of dialog likewise become nonessential, which is a shame.).

I also didn't care much for the primary villain: whom is a warm, close family friend in the past, but -- in just three years -- inexplicitly becomes a homicidal introvert fueled by personal greed? (Huh?! Why?) Plus, the breaking into a scientific research facility which apparently has zero employees: no minimum-wage security guards, maintenance or landscapers anywhere to be seen ... it must have been a nonworking Saturday (even though they just left a crowded college campus with active classes going on?!).

I don't want to give anything more away than this because it's worth watching. (7 out of 10)
