When an unusual classified ad inspires three cynical Seattle magazine employees to look for the story behind it, they discover a mysterious eccentric named Kenneth, a likable but paranoid supermarket clerk, who believes he's solved the riddle of time travel and intends to depart again soon. Together, they embark on a hilarious, smart, and unexpectedly heartfelt journey that reveals how far believing can take you.
"Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 91 Ocean View, WA 99393. You will get paid after we get back. Must bring your weapons. Safety is not guaranteed. I have only done this once before."
Three people from the magazine decide to cover or uncover a story. At least that is how it appears on the surface. It may have been the original intent, but as time progresses, each finds themself on a road of discovery. It is like reading a Joseph Campbell story.
The execution is sort of on a lighthearted level, but the encounters are anything but. If the viewer cannot relate to each of the characters, then something has been missed in their journey through life, and this film can be an eye-opener.
Be sure to watch the DVD extras to see what the intent was and see if they accomplish the movie that this was intended to be. We also get a little insight as to the characters and the actors that played them.
By the way, that was a real ad. Would you reply, and if so, what would you say?
