Fetching Cody (2005)
1/10
Possibly the Worst Time Travel Story Ever Written
10 May 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I will issue a spoiler warning - but truly, nothing can spoil this movie. It comes pre-ruined.

A "time machine" is able to identify people and pin-point locations and dates via vague references - all via voice command, and all while being a cheap recliner wrapped in Christmas lights.

That would place this object in the category of "magical" time travel mechanics, which in and of itself is not out of bounds. The absurdity of it all is simply "Take me to before Cody dropped out of school." How would the object know who Cody was, or when she dropped out of school? And that's just ONE of the many faulty time travel concepts present in the story.

There is so much absurdity in this movie, there's no way to fit a review into 1000 words. The basic fact is, these writers are terrible and the actors did them no favors. It's wall-to-wall paradoxes wrapped in a bunch of cheesy love story clichés, ending with the "Oh it was meant to be" serendipity of the two destined lovers randomly ending up on the same bus together, leaving town.
