The Blast From The Past

I thought this movie was very cute.

Brendan Fraser (what a cutie) and Alcia Silverstone (very pretty) had great chemistry in this romantic comedy.

This movie is about a couple (Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek) (both were very amusing in this movie) that lived in a bomb shelter for over 20 years.
They thought that there was a nuclear bomb that had wiped out the earth.

They raised their son (Brendan) in the bomb shelter which was invented by Dad and looked identical to their home.

The family didn't realize that a bomb never went off and it was safe to go outside until 20 years later.
Brendan has to go out to the "real" world to get supplies, which he's never been outside.
He meets up with Alcia and she helps him learn how much the world has changed and also finds love.

This movie was kind of like Encino Man or Crocadile Dundee where you take someone out of their element and teach them the ways of the world.
