Blast From the Past

(New Line)

Brendan Fraser pops up in the middle of LA after spending his entire life underground in a bomb shelter -- the result of his parents' paranoid reaction to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Fraser's Adam is armed for the modern world with a pile of IBM stock certificates, a few Mickey Mantle baseball cards, and some killer moves on the dance floor, but all that isn't enough to win over Alicia Silverstone's Valley girl, at least not initially, in this concoction of cheesy layers, hokum of the most delightful kind.
