P-A-X-497/341, aka “Pax” , a curious young man from the well-ordered but loveless future, travels to present day New Orleans in search of romance novelist Elizabeth Barrett – whose book he has come upon during an archeological dig in the year 3127. Hoping Elizabeth can explain the concept of love to him, which is now nonexistent in his time, Pax embarks on an adventure filled with new discoveries. Elizabeth introduces Pax to life in the year 2011, filled with love, music and of course, destiny. When Pax doesn’t return to the future by the given deadline, Bob, his fellow scientist, travels back in time to find him. Meanwhile, as Elizabeth helps Pax learn about love, she ends up confiding in her colleague, played by Valerie Harper, about her own upcoming “surprise” engagement.

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
TxMike Perhaps it is telling of our network TV business that this made-for-TV movie is 75 minutes long and likely made to show over a 2-hour time slot. That leaves 45 minutes for commercials!It has an interesting premise, far into the future when the Pacific Ocean is now dry land (I don't really believe it could happen that fast, anyway...) some explorers cut a hole into the hull of a long-sunken ship, and in a sealed compartment on the floor find a paperback novel "Forbidden Love" and a stash of money, a stack of USA $100 bills. The book was published in 2011, and a bit worn, and the bills were a 2012 printing. Those facts will eventually be very important.Sara Rue is Elizabeth Barrett, the author of that book, and who also works for a magazine in New Orleans as a feature writer in 2011. (A word of disappointment, none of the scenes in New Orleans looked like New Orleans. The river was not the Missisippi. The streetcars were not on St Charles Avenue. That is because the movie was NOT filmed in New Orleans! It was filmed in Georgia.) Barry Watson (who looks amazingly like a slightly younger Tim Olyphant) is an explorer, PAX, in the year 3127, when he finds the book and pages through it he sees words he doesn't recognize, words like 'love' and 'sex'. The older scientist, old reliable Fred Willard as Bob tells him those are banished words, they are a type of virus that can cause trouble. So PAX decides the only way to find out is time-travel to 2011 and meet the author, and ask her those questions.The story is clever on a number of levels. The "Forbidden Romance" of the book's title becomes the forbidden romance of Elizabeth and PAX, because she is engaged. Of course for the wrong reason, a year earlier he had kept her hat, actually her mother's old hat, from blowing into the river, so she figured 'fate' had brought them together.When PAX shows up looking for Elizabeth, and claiming he is from 3127, everyone thinks he is deranged so she is asked to write a series on him. First off, how did he possess an obviously well-worn copy of the book when it was just being released that day, as Elizabeth was giving brand-new copies to her co-workers? Then, when he pays for things how is it he has 2012 money, signed by the Secretary of Treasury that was about to be first announced the next day?Make no mistake this is just a lightweight rom-com, but I saw it on Netflix streaming movies and it is an entertaining 75 minutes. Although I remain disappointed that it wasn't filmed in New Orleans.SPOILERS: After several misadventures, and Elizabeth now being unsure she really loves her fiancée', PAX and Bob end up back in 3127. But PAX has a bright idea, he will go back to the day and time in 2010 that the wind blew Elizabeth's hat off, and retrieve it right before the other guy gets to it, that way he will become her love interest. That is where the movie ends, as she is asking him to go to the restaurant for a cup of coffee and talk.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "My Future Boyfriend" is a romantic comedy in the true sense of the genre. And it is a movie that heavily appeals to a female audience.The story is about Pax (played by Barry Watson)who is an archaeologist in the future where he unearths money from 2012 along with novel written by Elizabeth Barrett (played by Sara Rue). Reading the novel, Pax comes upon the word 'love' which is not used in the future (oddly enough), and decides to travel back in time to meet the author and learn the truth about love.I must say that, despite being a man, then I found the movie to be good, it had a nice story, and the storyline was really helped along so nicely by Sara Rue and Barry Watson's acting and the chemistry there was between them on the screen."My Future Boyfriend" was nicely shot and there was a lot of nice scenes in the movie, along with the marvelous beauty of New Orleans serving as the setting. (Although the movie was filmed in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia.)Of course, the movie is rather predictable, and the ending, well you saw that coming a mile away. But still, the movie worked out well enough. Good romantic entertainment with the occasional laugh here and there. So if you like sugar-coated romantic comedies, then you should check out "My Future Boyfriend" because it might just be what you were looking for.Perhaps you will even find yourself leaking (as to use one of the terms from the movie).
Rohail Ali Well,It's my proud to write a Review of this perfect Movie that i just watched, Even it's my Second review here on IMDb, I was not expecting to enjoy that much when i sat to watch this movie on my weekend night, but this movie is just more than perfect! An Excellent mixture of Romance, Sci-fi, Drama, Comedy, Romance. The whole story is properly balanced, full of suspense & UN-expected morals, Specially the end of the movie is totally opposite to your guess or imagination! The only thing disappoint me is that when i was finding this movie here on IMDb i was expecting thousands of votes & reviews but they are very few, I guess not so many peoples knew about this movie when it was released there must be mismanagement in it's publicity, other wise it was a super hit master piece! Will highly recommend this movie to Romance, Drama, Comedy, Sci-fi lovers!
dgcrow I really liked this movie. I thought Sara Rue was just fine, as usual. (I've been a fan of hers ever since "Less Than Perfect".) Barry Watson was appealing and his scenes with Rue were quite entertaining and believable. The whole production was enjoyable, light entertainment. And I had no problem with the little twist at the end. I have always enjoyed stories involving time travel if done reasonably well, and this one certainly was. In addition, it did have a few good things to say about love, relationships, and what is really important in life. Great to see Valerie Harper again, and there were a few brief but nice location shots in Savannah, Georgia. I'd give it an 8 out of 10.
