No, it's not the best movie I've seen in recent months, but it is a rare family-style movie to rent and enjoy together. Movies that appeal to us all are rare and far between these days.
My 12-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and she remained captivated throughout. My husband, being a fire fighter, picked apart the fire rescue scenes, even though I reminded him it was set over 30 years ago. Still, he basically was pleased with the choice.
Sure, there's a suspension of disbelief going on throughout the movie. Any time-travel piece usually requires it. The best thing about the movie is the family appeal. The plot, however, leaves something to be desired. The ending was rather rushed and disappointing, to say the least.
Nevertheless, each weekend-watching trip to the movie store usually results in the same disheartening outcome--nothing that appeals to the entire family. We snatched this one up just as soon as we suspended our disbelief it was readily available late Saturday afternoon. What luck!
The bottom line on this one folks, is Frequency is an entertaining, family-friendly film that makes for a cozy Saturday night event.
