Fetching Cody (2005)

I will issue a spoiler warning - but truly, nothing can spoil this movie. It comes pre-ruined.A "time machine" is able to identify people and pin-point locations and dates via vague references - all via voice command, and all while being a cheap recliner wrapped in Christmas lights. That would place this object in the category of "magical" time travel mechanics, which in and of itself is not out of bounds. The absurdity of it all is simply "Take me to before Cody dropped out of school." How would the object know who Cody was, or when she dropped out of school? And that's just ONE of the many faulty time travel concepts present in the story.There is so much absurdity in this movie, there's no way to fit a review into 1000 words. The basic fact is, these writers are terrible and the actors did them no favors. It's wall-to-wall paradoxes wrapped in a bunch of cheesy love story clichés, ending with the "Oh it was meant to be" serendipity of the two destined lovers randomly ending up on the same bus together, leaving town.

I'm giving this one notch short of a 10, simply so I can protest that the film wasn't another 30 minutes longer, I didn't want it to end. Jay Baruchel, As Art really makes impossible scene after impossible scene believable. You get to care as much as he does as the film goes on, about Cody. At lunch I explained it to a friend today who said it "sounds like The Time Traveler's Wife".While there are certain premise similarities, Time Traveler, is like-for your grandmother, Cody is for the rest of us. An all too real world, mixed with a surreal trip (through time?). Watch the film and find out, it's definitely worth it.

This movie was not even one of the sequels to Butterfly Effect. It was the same movie. Protagonist lived but may have well died because his love was gone. Then again, what you do not know does not hurt you. I thought that the lead actor Jay Baruchel overacted . Sarah Lind was fine in her role as Cody. Art ,our protagonist was not a likable guy at all. I did not see it in his personality that he would be unselfish, especially the way he changed the Christmas Party and hurt Helmet the way he did. That was just downright mean. The film was uneven. I mean finding a recliner that was a time machine. I thought that was just silly. I also did not understand how the hospital could not find Codys last name when she was paying rent and utilities in an apartment. Loose ends like that got to me. I did not like Art , he came across as just very belligerent . Maybe if his childhood was explored a bit, I would understand somewhat of why he turned out to be a druggie. The movie was entertaining but really for not the right reasons. It was silly. Watch it but do not pay for this. If I paid to see this my rating might be a pt or 2 lower.

I loved this movie great characters and great cinematography i suggest seeing this movie! good job Mr ray. I love Jay in this movie. He was very funny with his comedic takes. Sarah was also very good. I loved the scene at Christmas it was very well down. Kudos to the writer. This movie did pretty well in Vancouver. I saw it twice and every time i liked it more and more. It wasn't what i thought it would be though. I expected it to be just a movie. But its more then that. It shows the dark side of the beautiful Vancouver. There wasn't any over the top stuff it was all very realistic. The part where she is talking with Jay and she then walks away and gets in a car with a guy is very powerful. I love this movie!
