Must sea a aaa Worth your Tim a passable entertainment coming Toon to a video outlet near you and you can wait the exciting opening scene of this film has Mel Gibson playing a pc world War u army air corps test Pilot pulling out of a screaming nosedive in an experimental aircraft just in time to make a wrenching wheels up belly Landing on a dirt Airstrip. Viewers should wring every possible drop of enjoyment from that scene because its mostly downhill from there in this preposterous bit of pseudo nos Tai Gia from writer Jeffrey Abrams and director Steve Miner. Gibson plays capt. Danny Mccormick a typically rakish 1930s flyby whose two passions in life Are soaring the skies and mooning Over his childhood sweetheart Helen Isabel Glass orto whom he is trying to gather the courage to propose marriage. When Llewlen experiences a problem Danny asks his Friend Harry George. Wendt government scientist conducting experiments in cryogenics without the Sanction of his supervisors to freeze him for a year. The next thing he knows its 1992 and he a being awakened by two kids goofing off in the dim recesses of a Musty military warehouse slated for demolition the kids race off in terror when this human ice pop comes to life and stumbles naked out of the cryogenic chamber providing the Opportunity for what has become a cliched Staple of every Gibson movie a a gratuitous shot of his buns Dut Danny finds the address of one. Of the kids 10-Ycar-old Nat Cooper Elijah Wood sewn into the Collar of a jacket the boy accidentally leaves behind. Having nowhere else to go he looks the kid up and enlists him and his initially clueless single mom Claire Jamie Lee Curtis in an Effort to come to grips with such modern oddities As inflatable athletic shoes Telephone answering machines and Suzanne Somers thigh master commercials ultimately Danny will need Nat and Claire to help him find out what happened to Harry the Experiment and Helen Many sequences have a superficial Slapdash feel As if Miner and Abrams made this stuff up on the Fly. Probably the Foremost example of that is the Flat out incredible explanation for How the cryogenic chamber came to be buried in the bowels of a government warehouse this futuristic piece of equipment which has wires tubes and buttons covering almost every Inch of its surface looks like something Rube Goldberg and . Wells might have dreamed up after a night of Drunken revelry together. But Abrams and Miner would have us believe it was mistakenly listed on a military inventory Sheet As a water cooler of All things. The Story itself is so blatantly mawkish that its enough to cause sugar Shock. Its meant to touch your heart and viewers arc repeatedly reminded of that fact via a recurring line of dialogue that feels like a Hammer pounding on your Skull. And another scene in which Nat climbs a tree to croon you Aro my Sunshine to the girl of his prepubescent fantasies is liable to make some viewers cringe. Yet for All its flaws this movie is a definite St Pup from miners previous Effort the execrable Encino Man a backhanded compliment if there Ever was one. Although he flexes barely a fraction of his Talent Gibson is his usual eminently likable self and Curtis once again reminds me Why she a one of our More underrated actresses. There will always be a Core audience of moviegoers willing to Overlook such Small details As plot pacing and character development for the Opportunity to Wallow in the kind of mawkish Cinema sentimentality that is hardly Ever experienced in real life. This film is made to order for those folks. Of course i would never count myself among them but., Ohall right 1 admit it. I did eventually get choked up. Just a tiny Little minuscule infinitesimal bit. For that reason and because in a a big fan of both Gibson and Curtis forever Young gets two 12 a Sun Oak january 24,1993
