Peggy Sue Got Married (PG-13) 5.0

Peggy Sue Got Married (1986): Peggy Sue faints at a Highschool reunion. When she wakes up she finds herself in her own past, just before she finished school. (6.3)

Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Writers: Jerry Leichtling, Arlene Sarner
Stars: Kathleen Turner, Nicolas Cage and Barry Miller

WTF?  Hey director/writers, if you want to write a story about going back in time, at least get the basics right.  Things you do after going back affect the future events. Then there are past events you need to worry about. If you are not smart enough to understand those, just make a period movie about the 50s with cars with fins, screaming girls with fancy dresses and do-wup bands and call it a day. This story is effing dumb, stupid and useless. And, throw-up quality soapy to boot. The only thing the main character achieves by going back seems to be to cheat on her committed boyfriend. Yeah, real inspiring; thanks for that. What's with the casting? A 32-year-older playing both a teenage high school girl and a 45-year-old woman with pretty much the same dress and make-up is ... uh, did I mention that this movie is dumb and stupid? And, why does Netflix list this trash under sci-fi??  My Rating: 5.0
