Moviegoers are saying
This ambitious time-travel-mockumentary hybrid from director Matt Johnson has audiences asking 'how did they do that?' at least 50 times while howling at clever references like the Q billboard gag. Despite universal 5/10 ratings, viewers are calling it a 'genuine miracle' and immediately wanting to rewatch this elaborate Back to the Future II love letter that's best experienced with a crowd.

James (Schaffrillas)Feb 12, 2026On one hand I worry about overhyping this movie, on the other hand I think it’s a genuine miracle and feel a moral obligation to do everything in my power to get anyone and everyone I can to see this thing in theaters ASAP.

Johnson is nothing if not a punchy ringmaster of deadpan humor and his grab-bag mindset generates enough goodwill to appreciate the DIY brashness of it all. I’m one of those who had no clue of this act’s history and I’m fairly certain I’d look forward to Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie the Sequel.

No matter the out-of-this-world nature of their adventure, they remain an amusing and endearingly down-to-Earth doofus duo.

This overly meta farce beats its mildly silly jokes so steadily into the ground that it’s not so much a case of diminishing returns as humor abuse.
