Todd’s girlfriend Lucy accepts a job in Seattle, whether he’s prepared to follow or not. Todd (Jesse Rosen) doesn’t react particularly well. The next day, Lucy (Anna Rizzo) storms out mid-fight and then the doorbell rings. Todd answers. It’s Todd. Another Todd, a doppelganger, or evil twin, or future Todd from another dimension. At any rate, New Todd has arrived to make things right, and he wrestles Regular Todd into a time machine (ish) and sends Todd to some sort of alternative universe.
Once there, Regular Todd is out of his depth. Someone else lives in his house. His best friend Dave (Sean Carmichael) has a mustache, and a baby (and we’re not sure which one is more surprising), and Lucy is dead. Everyone living thinks this Todd is crazy.
Meanwhile, back in the original timeline, New Todd is the perfect boyfriend who of course would go anywhere for the girlfriend he loves, and lights candles for, and dances in the living room with. If stealing someone’s girlfriend is the best way you can imagine to exploit parallel universes, you’re a pretty lame dude. And this guy’s gone to great lengths – extraordinary lengths to steal Lucy away from Regular Todd, but the script goes to no lengths at all to establish Lucy as the kind of woman who’s worth all that. I’m not sure I’d split a plate of nachos with Lucy, if we’re being honest.
Directed by first-timer Rob Schulbaum, the film is relatively low on production values but stuffed with questions about identity and relationships and taking things for granted. And about the rules of the universe(s) too of course – this wouldn’t be a sci-fi dramedy without them!
ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES 
Sounds like the kind of movie you could leave on in the background of a christmas party and occasionally someone would look over and be like what?? is that?? haha. maybe i’ll try it!

I love the premise. I love time travel/time machine/alternate identity stuff. But the fact that they didn’t flesh out the girlfriend more & give the reasons WHY someone would go to all that trouble deflates the balloon real fast. Bleh.

Doppelgangers and time travel are always fun! This sounds like it misses the mark but I’m sufficiently curious. Sometimes I’ll just go into something just to see how they got it wrong.

This sounds a bit cheesy. On the ‘miss’ list.

Another cool premise that gets wasted on a romance.

I like the premise. Too bad the execution’s poor.
