What: Vincent D'Onofrio is Sam, a guy who claims to have traveled from the future. He reveals this to girlfriend Ruby (Marisa Tomei), who has a history of bad relationship choices, and she struggles to determine whether Sam is delusional or actually telling the truth. Delightfully, the movie also features delightful Holland Taylor and delightful Tovah Feldshuh.
Comparable to: It's actually very Next Stop Wonderland-ish . . . largely because both films are from writer-director Brad Anderson.
Representative quote: "You're gay! You're a Jew for Jesus? It's that tattoo. It's a cult. You're in a cult. You're a Branch Davidian? You're a survivalist?"
You might not like it if: You really, really haven't liked Vincent D'Onofrio since his L&O twitches. Would it help if I told you he's more likable here than he's been since he was Thor in Adventures in Babysitting?
How to get it: Available to stream on Netflix and Amazon.
Also: Next Stop, Wonderland was Rec. #253.
