Editorial Reviews

Contemporary high schooler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) doesn't have the most pleasant of lives. Browbeaten by his principal at school, Marty must also endure the acrimonious relationship between his nerdy father (Crispin Glover) and his lovely mother (Lea Thompson), who in turn suffer the bullying of middle-aged jerk Biff (Thomas F. Wilson), Marty's dad's supervisor. The one balm in Marty's life is his friendship with eccentric scientist Doc (Christopher Lloyd), who at present is working on a time machine. Accidentally zapped back into the 1950s, Marty inadvertently interferes with the budding romance of his now-teenaged parents. Our hero must now reunite his parents-to-be, lest he cease to exist in the 1980s. It won't be easy, especially with the loutish Biff, now also a teenager, complicating matters. Beyond its dazzling special effects, the best element of Back to the Future is the performance of Michael J. Fox, who finds himself in the quagmire of surviving the white-bread 1950s with a hip 1980s mindset. Back to the Future cemented the box-office bankability of both Fox and the film's director, Robert Zemeckis, who went on to helm two equally exhilarating sequels. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

What Parents Need to Know

About Back to the Future

Parents need to know that this movie has some bullying in it and bits of language. The "s" word is uttered a few times, there is a reference to "reefer," and a few dated racial slurs are used by bad guys. There is a shooting, which appears to be lethal at first that is committed by a group of Libyan terrorists. It takes up no more than 3 minutes of the story, but is impossible to ignore. Sex, wanted and unwanted, is implied, but it's pretty harmless and will go over the heads of youngsters. There is no action is taken beyond flirting and kissing.

Families Can Talk About

Families can talk about ways in which individuals such as George can defend themselves without resorting to violence. They also might discuss family history -- as in when Mom met Dad.
