ANGELIKA’S NOTE

In this hilarious adventure of time travel and romance, Kathleen Turner (ROMANCING THE STONE, BODY HEAT) gives a brilliant performance that blends comedy with philosophical questions of fate. Francis Ford Coppola (APOCALYPSE NOW, THE GODFATHER) creates a comedic masterpiece. TIME Magazine praises the film, "This prom-night balloon of a movie floats easily above the year's other exercises in '50s nostalgia. If you dare reach for it, it will land smartly in your heart."

SYNOPSIS

At her high school reunion, Peggy Sue faints and wakes up back in high school. Despite her confusion about what has happened and how to get back to her own time, Peggy realizes that she has a chance to start her life over, to avoid her depression and her marriage (and divorce) to Charlie. However, just because she knows the future, does that mean she can really avoid it?

ANGELIKA’S NOTE
SYNOPSIS

"What makes this treatment unique is that the jokes aren't so much derivative of pop culture, but are instead found in the learned wisdom of a middle-aged woman reacting to her own teenage dilemmas."

Variety

"Here you don't see Coppola the camera wizard, you see Coppola the storyteller, the maker of fables. And by the end, you don't feel warmly just toward the movie, but toward the man behind it."

Washington Post

"This prom-night balloon of a movie floats easily above the year's other exercises in '50s nostalgia. If you dare reach for it, it will land smartly in your heart."
