Man of the Century

One of Ted’s coworkers loaned him a very cute DVD the other day…has anyone seen Man of the Century? The premise is that Johnny Twennies lives in the1990s, but he acts as though he’s in the 1920s. He’s a newspaper man who still works on a typewriter, swears like a pre-schooler, sends messages by telegram, and he’s trying to keep his job and get the girl.
Very cute. Very clever. We never found out WHY he’s still in the past, but I was glad he was, because I liked this film. Give it a rental/Netflix. You won’t be sorry.

hi, J!
I have recently joined the equivalent of netflix here in Canada so I am on the lookout for some good movies…I will definitely be putting this one on my queue, thanks so much for the recommendation, I really love the sound of it. Feel free to throw any other suggestions my way as well, thanks!

What an amusing film. If I was a film critic, my quote for the DVD cover would be “A real piece of postmodern fun!”
