Cute idea, but not consistently funny.

Blast is finally a squandered opportunity, a lot of situation with very little comedy. Jan 2, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Fraser is the sweet, goofy engine that drives this movie. The script doesn't do enough with his reactions to a world that bears little relation to the Cold War planet Adam has been told about, but Fraser still manages to suggest volumes. Mar 21, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Garish and not funny enough, Wilson's shapeless satire plods on, squandering its nice premise and its appealing actors. Miraculously, Fraser has a force field around him and manages to radiate energy in this comic black hole. Mar 21, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Thanks to a clever script, tight direction, a first-rate cast and the dynamite combination of Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone, Blast from the Past blows away the recent crop of romantic comedies. Mar 21, 2014 | Full Review…

That's a relatively clever set-up for what's become a familiar genre: the time-displacement comedy, in which we get a kick out of viewing our era through another era's eyes. But this movie's eyes, Adam's, are awfully twinkly and not too focused. Mar 21, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

[A] bizarre hybrid of romantic comedy cliches and less-than-subtle social commentary. Mar 21, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Once the movie decides the air is clear and Fraser begins walking the earth, Blast becomes much spottier at hitting its comic targets and suffers from a bad case of the cutes. Mar 21, 2014

Any movie with a rhyming title should be treated with suspicion. And Blast From The Past -- two films inconveniently rolled into one creaking rom-com -- is as bad as it gets. Mar 21, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Still a cute film years later. One of Alicia's best

t has some things i like about it like the beginning 35 minutes with the whole, them being in a bomb shelter for 35 years, and i liked some of the jokes after the 35 minutes but overall it was just an average comedy film.
The central premise is fun and kind of clever, even if the film isn't completely a success. The script is okay, but could have been better, I did enjoy this movie though, and I like the performances. I think those are probably the best part. The concept is so goofy, but the cast do a pretty good job of trying to sell things, especially Walken, Spacek, and Fraser. This isn't an amazing movie, but it's fun for a lazy day.
The story was peculiar. But not that bad I guess. I wasn't bored. That could be a plus point.
