90s: The Movie

Jack Peterson (Matthew Perry) is a big city architect who seemingly has it all! A good job, a nice house and a life he loves. But when his boss sends him out to the middle of the countryside to help design a new freeway, he finds more than he bargained for when cultures collide! Out of his depth, out of money and seemingly out of luck, his fortunes change when he meets the spunky young Maddy (Meg Ryan) who teaches him about life and love. That is, if he can avoid her equally successful, rich, charming and jealous ex boyfriend Todd (Dylan McDermott).

But Meg lives next door to Bill and Jenny Sanders (Freddie Prinze Junior and Clea Duvall), the happily married couple who have just accepted an abandoned baby into their midst. But it's not all happy families, for their bouncing baby girl (voiced by Mara Wilson) is actually the lost offspring of a pair of aliens! Now the two of them, (Jeff Daniels and Geena Davis) are coming after the couple to get their child back, on one hell of a road trip! To escape, the Saunders' enlist the help of Robbie (Edward Furlong), the comic book nerd next door, and embark on a journey to get to safety, encountering some weird and wonderful characters and discovering some answers about life, love and friendship along the way!
However, they find themselves part of a much bigger problem when two government agents (David Caruso and Gary Sinise) come after the alien couple and block them at every turn, until they find themselves begging the president for help at the White House. Unfortunately, their pleas are cut short when terrorists attack! Now the agents must find a way to rescue the president and the aliens, whilst the aliens find themselves in a situation where they could not only be heroes, but rekindle their own failing marriage!

Led by the charming and charismatic Charles Kane (Bruce Payne) and his psychotic second in command Boyd (Tom Sizemore), the highly trained group have taken over the building and are threatening to execute the president (Pierce Brosnan) unless their demands are met! Now the president must team up with the aliens and a rogue ex special forces agent (Wesley Snipes) to turn the tables on his kidnappers and stop the world from hurtling towards armageddon!

On the road with the Sanders', Robbie is anxious, for he won't be able to get with Cassie (Rose McGowan) his hot date for the prom, which is in three days! Aided by his smooth and charming friend Chuck (Josh Hartnett), he makes an effort to turn his luck around. But as he's helping his neighbours, in an attempt to prove to Cassie that he is responsible, his sworn enemy Brad (Paul Walker) starts making moves on her! Fortunately though, with the aid of the Sanders' and a crazy escaped con they pick up on the road (Stephen Dorff) he stands a chance of winning her back before Principal Owens (Delroy Lindo) books him for detention!

Richie, the convict, is a man running from his own past. He owes money to the ruthless crime lord Darius Donovan (Jeremy Sisto) and needs to lay low for a while. Hitching a lift with a charming couple, he finds himself home in time to see his girl Natalie (Alicia Silverstone) kidnapped by thugs working for Donovan! He's now got 48 hours to raise the $50,000 dollars he owes, or they're both dead! He teams up with maverick cop Dan Powers (Jean Claude Van Damme) on a thrilling journey of gangsters, guns and friendship that'll keep you on the edge of your seat!

Detective Dan Powers needs this case, for he is haunted by the death of his partner years earlier at the hands of ruthless hitman "The Wolf" (Christopher Walken), whilst Captain Owens (Dennis Hopper) is threatening to drop him from the force. Making things worse, his daughter Ella (Rachel Leigh Cooke) won't speak to him and his wife (Patricia Arquette) has left him. But when he finds out that the Wolf is back in town and is now working for the mafia kingpin Louis Lamotta (Victor Argo), he realises that the time has come to kick back!

  1. This should and must happen. It sounds like it will be a six-hour epic (or maybe a trilogy, or a film series, or something)

    1. Wow, first comment!
      Of course it'd be a six hour epic, there'd be intervals and everything. With advert breaks of course, and all of the violence uncut. The sequel would detail the side characters and their journeys (Probably starring Tom Green, DJ Qualls, Morris Chestnut and Johnny Lee Miller)
