Show Signpost-Tuesday, July 16, 1985 7 'Chicago' razz comes to Salt Lake est MOVIE fr&mfi review ( I by Kevin Carrillo Summer Editor-in-Chief For those of you up on trends, there are certain things that one simply must do in the summer. For example, one must have a deep, dark tan by early June and one must never be caught watching television in July. To the list of summer "musts" I add the following; one must see the new flick, Back to the Future. For years now, I have dreaded the flock of summer teen sexplotation films. However, this year has ushered in several delightful movies and Back to the Future is the leader of the pack. The film deals with Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and his semi-nerdy family. McFly enters a time machine built by his scientist friend, Dr. Brown (Christopher Lloyd) and finds himself 30 years in past, in 1955. Marty's problems are futher compounded when his future mother Lorraine Baines (Lea Thompson) falls in love with the mysterious "dreamboat" in his Calvin Kleins. Marty's problem is getting Lorraine to fall for wimpy George McFly (Crispin Glover), the town nerd. Back to the Future takes this basic situation and turns it into a warm and very funny story. The plot doesn't sell itself short for the sake of a quick laugh. It is fun to see the clash of cultures as Marty the hard rocker plays at a '50s school dance and reverses musical history by planting the seeds of rock revolution in black musicians. A great deal of credit for the success of this film goes to the 24-year-old Fox. Fox is best known for his role in the television series, Family Ties. However, with this film Fox proves himself to be one of the brightest "young" stars on the "screen today. Ironically, no studio wanted to make the film because they feared it wasn't raunchy enough. It took Steven Spielberg's stepping in as coexecutive producer before the movie got the green light. Perhaps with this film a new trend will develop in Hollywood of good movies aimed at more than teenagers. Back to the Future is going strong at the box office as it should. With great acting, a funny plot, and a dynamite soundtrack from Hughey Lewis and the News, this movie has something for everyone.
