Chris O'Dowd (The IT Crowd,The Boat that Rocked) has just been fired at his job at an amusement park for freaking out another group of children with his vivid visions of the future. So he and his mates go down the pub.

In the pub he and his two mates discuss silly ideas and his understanding of time travel. They all call him a nerd. So when he meets a girl (Anna Farris,Scary Movie) who tells him she is from the future, he assumes that it is a set up. That is, until his friend finds himself in a future version of the pub where everyone is dead.

And the unlikely method of getting to the future? Entering the gents toilets. As the guys try to get back to their own time they realise two things: 1. That they are about to invent something amazing and 2. Someone is on their way back to stop them doing so.

Now, from the way I've explained the plot, you might think that this sounds like a very nerdy sci-fi film - but I assure you that it is also hysterically funny!

I don't know what else to say about this film, apart from: everyone should see it and I'll be getting it on DVD.
