"Blast from the Past" tricked me the first time I watched it. It looked like a goofy, mid-tier romantic comedy built around a fish-out-of-water gag and Brendan Fraser doing his best aw-shucks routine.
And sure, on the surface it’s light and silly. There’s a man raised in a fallout shelter, swing dancing in a diner, and Sissy Spacek teaching her son etiquette like it’s 1962.
