I'm a pretty big time travel movie fan. Always have been. Even a bad one, I often find at least a little fascinating. Lucky for me as I recently came across one that's not great. However, it was anything but boring. It's like a Butterfly Effect type deal, but not as creative. British film about this poor excuse for a wife/mother. A woman sleeps around on her husband, stays out every night, drinking and getting it on with a co-worker, without a care in the world. Just an irresponsible, selfish person, this woman. Her husband is quickly losing patience, however her young son is far more forgiving. One day, after being late picking her up son from school again, the two of them get in a wreck on the way home. As Arlene was stopped at a red light, she dropped her phone on the floor board, and as she reaches to pick it up, she accidentally takes her foot off the brake. The car rolls into traffic, causing a wreck as well as the death of her son.

A totally avoidable accident, but honestly, it could have happened to anyone. However, this incident is treated like the result of Arlene's history of being an irresponsible piece of shit, but it really isn't. However, this doesn't stop her husband from leaving her, pretty much sending her straight to rock bottom. But what's weird is how random people this woman runs into in public are furious with her and have no problem expressing it. They're all like "Oh, you're that woman who accidentally caused her son's death, aren't you?" Well, fuck you, cunt! I hope you rot in hell!" One woman even walks up to her in a store and spits in her face. People acting like it was their own child that was killed, or that this woman is some known child murderer who somehow got off. It feels like the poor woman is one step away from being tarred, feathered and ran out of town. I'm not entirely sure what's going on here.

What's the solution to all this, you ask? Well, time travel, of course! Arlene is offered a second chance by the Endeavour Institute who can make time travel possible, but for a hefty price. Basically, they give Arlene a pill which kills her but allows her to wake up on her desired date with all memories in tact and a chance to do things differenctly. So, it doesn't take much effort to make sure the wreck doesn't happen. However, Arlene is so grateful to get her old life back, she immediately decides to change once and for all and become the wife and mother her family deserves.

One problem: Arlene uncontrollably kills a bunch of people. First, she stabs her ex-lover in the eye when he tries to convince her to keep their fling going, then, after burying him in the backyard, she strangles her father to death. Unfortunately, he was the only one she had to confide in about all of this. Arlene decides she must get in touch with the Endeavour guy who originally approached her so she can travel back in time again. He says "fuck off", but gets himself killed after Arlene accidentally pushes him down some concrete stairs. Before this happens, he explains to her that she's been reliving memories that no longer exist and it's messing with her brain, which is a really flimsy excuse for why she's been murdering people. Arlene steals the card key from her latest victim and uses it to get into the Endeavour building so she can steal another pill and die again.

Awakened once again and now faced with two sets of memories as well as the current reality. Arlene wisely takes a little vacation in an attempt to not hurt anyone while all of her memories hopefully get straightened out. And they supposedly will as soon as Arlene can make it to the point in time she originally time traveled. She does pretty good this time around as her biggest mistake is strangling a dog to death. That is, until she makes it back home. Let's just say it ain't pretty. And there will certainly be a need for more time travel.

Back To The Future, this is not, however, You Might Get Lost is still a fairly watchable little movie. Especially if you just dig time travel, and maybe not mind a bleak premise. The tone of regret and sorrow offers some extra layers and substance. Although at times, it almost felt like someone really wanted this to be part horror and decided to wedge in these uncontrollable murders to make it so. While funny, this ultimately felt a bit out of place for the particular story. A story that could easily draw you in either way, but an all around inept movie with seemingly not much thinking outside of the box. Mostly for time travel enthusiasts. And maybe for those who like to laugh at dumb movies. 5/10
