  • 5 stars out of 5

    This irresistible combination of dazzling effects and sly comedy propelled Michael J Fox to stardom and Robert Zemeckis to the front rank of Hollywood directors. And time has not robbed it of any of its vitality. Fox plays the young student who travels back in time to the 1950s and acts as matchmaker for his future parents, who are showing no signs of falling in love. It's beautifully played by the cast (honourable mentions to Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover), and makes the most of an ingenious script from Bob Gale and Zemeckis that finds time to poke fun at 50s icons and lifestyles between the bouts of time travelling. Zemeckis's direction is equally adroit and he never lets the effects swamp the film.

    Simply a TIME honored classic

    Where do you start when trying to review a film of this much class. Maybe by saying that if you havent seen this film, then where have you been for the last 2 decades! I defy anyone, of any age, to watch this film and not press the eject button without a smile on there face. (No matter how many times you?ve seen it!!!!) The film is almost twenty years old, but it still looks as fresh as it did back in 1985.

    If you havent seen this film, then press the 'ADD' button straight away. If you have seen it still press the 'ADD' button straight away, you cant watch this movie too many times.

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

    Lloyd eyes Roger Rabbit return

    • 28 Nov 2009

    Christopher Lloyd is calling on filmmakers to push through a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit - because he'd love to reprise his villainous Judge Doom role. The Back To The Future actor starred as the sadistic cartoon killer in the 1988 comedy classic, which mixed animation and live-action together for the big screen. Recent rumours suggest director Robert Zemeckis has commissioned a script for a follow-up, and Lloyd has quickly expressed his interest in bringing his character back to life.... Read more
