My Future Boyfriend

My Future Boyfriend
[DVD My]

P-A-X 497/341 is an archeologist from the future. On an expedition he uncovers a book written in 2011 by Elizabeth Barrett. In the book she talks about love; this is a concept unknown to humans in the future because it is thought to be too dangerous and it was wiped from the database. PAX goes back in time to meet Elizabeth Barrett so she can explain love to him. Elizabeth lives in New Orleans in 2011, she's an author and she's also a writer for a magazine called "Strange Times" which covers all your usual UFO, Elvis isn't dead, National Enquirer-type stories. She of course thinks he's crazy but listens to his story so she can write an article about it. Along the way they fall in love which is only complicated by the fact that she's about to get engaged to another man. Similar to other ABC Family movies, this one was sappy, cheesy, and a complete lovefest. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry. [If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try the Back to the Future series starring Michael J. Fox or Less Than Perfect with Sara Rue as a TV news anchor (available through interlibrary loan).} -- recommended by Carrie K. - Bennett Martin Public Library
