Hello, my dear readers. Guess you are all looking forward to Christmas right about now. I finished this gem called “The Adams Project” last night and thought I’d do you all a quick post. It’s been a while. What can I say? Alcohol comes first.
The plot zips around like it’s had too much coffee—time travel, futuristic jets, evil corporations—but it never forgets to slow down for heart. The real secret weapon is the banter between adult Adam and his younger self, which feels like watching your inner monologue argue with you in real time. It’s funny, oddly touching, and painfully accurate.
One of the funniest parts is where he convinces his younger self to stand up to a bully, only to get pummeled. Of course, that could be my strange sense of humor..
The film is quite uplifting, never getting particularly dark. His being mean to his Mum is about the worst of it, and he gives her a big hug at the end. The action scenes are good and will keep your heart beating away.
A small bit of romance, but it never gets in the way. Down with that sort of thing.
Four stars out of five for me. Good light entertainment.
