At first, this movie might seem like a cheap imitation of "Back to the Future." But wait about 10 minutes and it gets good, really good. Little Tony, who has never gotten along with his father (Big Tony), accidentally gets transported back in time and comes to know his father as a young man. And never mind the time-traveling mechanism, that is not the point of the movie, was there any doubt at all that Little Tony will be able to return to the present? In any case, for the first time, the son gets to know his father, as a parent and as a friend. He comes to appreciate why he does what he does, and along the way helps out the family and their friends a great deal. Through a relationship with a girl who looked exactly like his present-time girlfriend (Anita Yuen), Little Tony also starts to cherish her.

(4.5/5)
