Funny & fowl, this plays a lot like what it sorta is: a long-form edition of "Family Guy."
The main thing that could have made it better would have been to cut it down by about the length of one "Family Guy"episode.

I think this movie's biggest mistake is the fact it is being widely-billed as a comedy--and most of the time, it doesn't even seem to be trying to be funny.
Bonus points, though, for not subtitling the musical numbers; that tells me that I can safely take a bathroom break without worrying that the plot might be furthered.

Whoa-- "Amazing" is right!
Super-exciting & fun, with lots of surprises, even for spider-fans (SPOILER ALERT: Uncle Ben still dies).
.
What I love most about this movie is the bouncy music, bright color & joyful cheesiness; the filmmakers really put a lot into delivering a movie-lover's version of the retro eras depicted.
What makes me most sad is that--and this is based upon the fact the three stories take place a mere 50 years apart--our first two sets of protagonists must have died horribly young!

The most low-tech "time machine" movie I've ever seen, and the only one where it didn't matter if they ever went back in time.
Which they either did or didn't--what am I gonna do, ruin it for you?
.
Lead actor Akshay Kumar plays two characters, one of whom has faked his death in a flash-forward scene, and one of whom (not necessarily the other) dies (or fakes it) later on in the action.
It doesn't matter if you are confused now or during the watching of the film, or even whether you can recall any of what happened later--because the goings-on are that much fun to watch.

Started out with an interesting premise, but then gave that up to go the shock-shock-horror-horror route.
And after that, got REALLY ridiculous.
