In this Presidential Election year, many Democrats want to go back a few years to the days when Obama strolled the halls of the White house while a huge chunk of Republicans want to flash back a couple centuries to when women and minorities"knew their place."
Aside from the cute premise, the engine that powered the original BTTF flick was a trio of performances: Michael J. Fox as Marty; Crispin Glover as his twitchy, pathologically passive dad George; and Christopher Lloyd as the genius inventor and professional wackadoodle Doc Brown. Those three actors kept the story compelling, and the laughs followed.
Don Stephenson pays homage to Lloyd's manic masterpiece in the juicy role of Doc Brown, but he is an agile enough performer to make many moments and laughs all his own.
