A group of teens stumble onto plans for building a time travel machine. They work together to build the machine and use it to travel back in time to fix money problems, their love lives and to just have fun. However, it soon becomes apparent that their time travel has ripple effects and unintended consequences. Eventually, they have to face the tough decision that their time travel is harmful and they must travel back once more to make sure they never invent the time machine in the first place.

This movie was actually a little better than I expected. I don't usually like movies filmed using hand held cameras but this one wasn't too jerky or annoying, Sometimes, it didn't really make sense to use a camcorder, but overall it wasn't too distracting. The kids are all cute, smart and likeable. It was fun to watch them work on the time machine together and slowly try it out on various inanimate objects before they became guinea pigs themselves. This is a decent movie. Some humor, some confusing science - but never too technical, and some likeable kids. Even the special effects were pretty good. Not bad for a cold afternoon.
