Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Relax, I'm From the Future (2023)

Casper travels from the future but struggles to get anything going until Holly, an aimless millennial, offers him some leftovers and a place to crash. Armed with Casper's lottery and sports knowledge, Holly can live a comfortable life and Casper can pursue his passion for memorabilia, mostly by befriending close-to-death nursing home residents in hopes of inheriting their stuff.

The script quickly dismisses the "butterfly effect" -- making it clear that small changes won't be felt, but they've got to be careful about altering anything big. The result is a charming, if somewhat weightless, story with winning performances. I had a good time.
