Watched on AmazonPrime.

13 songs, maybe 2 performed onscreen. So this was tagged Music because B&T have a 2-man garage band that has significance 700 years in the future, but those songs aren't written yet. Ugh.

Time travel plots are the most vulnerable to being picked apart. This one certainly made little sense: how are you going to wash the past dudes' minds before sending them back to their time, or, how is their knowledge of the future going to impact our past?

I didn't really understand the history reports being before an auditorium full of students.

And I didn't find anyone charming or interesting in the film.

Never watched this before; never wanted to. Still don't. If only I could turn back time...
