FETCHING CODY (2005) Take time (travel) to help someone you love

This is a classic “what-if” time travel, romantic love story in the tradition of BUTTERFLY EFFECT. A young street hustler seeks to save his drug addicted-girlfriend from an overdose by visiting key moments in her past (his time machine is a La-Z-Boy recliner festooned with Christmas tree lights). After a number of failed rescue missions, he realizes the only way to fix her life is for them never to meet. FETCHING CODY is an inventive and emotionally engaging little film that I highly recommend, especially if you're into tales about time travel.
