Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis direct Kevin Costner, Christopher Lloyd and Mary Stuart Masterson in these short stories with twists.

Disappointing. Two masters take on lesser projects in what is in all but name two TV episodes crammed together to little decent effect. Both set ups are intriguing but the twists are truly weak and journey there lacking any vitality. Despite some starpower and occasional kinetic energy on display, if you didn’t already know the hands wielding the megaphones you’d quickly switch channels.
