The counter Freudian drama is handled with easy wit and flair, like a Shakespearian disguise comedy, and it made a whopping star of Fox.

But if Back To The Future doesnt hold big ideas well, it remains like its star small, but perfectly formed.
Empire
5.0
The film remains light and breezy, never taking time travel too seriously, and both romance and science defer to adventure.
