I really thought I was going to like this much more than I ended up liking it.  It's a winning premise, not unlike The Brady Bunch Movie, where the main character(s) are stuck in a stylized version of a particular era, while all around them is the contemporary world, which is somewhat won over to the past.  But this movie felt unfocused and as it went on, I was less enchanted.  Still points for effort, and it's always nice to see Chasing Amy's Dwight Ewell, playing another too-smart-for-the-room gay Black man.
