Stuck In The 00s

Stuck In The 00s (pronounced as Stuck In The Double-O’s) is a 2004 American time travel comedy film written and directed by Jeffrey Saxx. Starring Malachi Tyrus, Christian Daumoinx, Ms. Lee, and George Makoni, it follows a funk musician from 1974 who is accidentally accused for escaping an experiment by a scientist where he is cryogenically frozen for 3 years, only for his cryogenic chamber to have accidentally been released into a garbage chute, and wakes up in 30 years by a street kid, and needs help to go back to his own time, along with trying to blend in to his new and unfamiliar peers.

Plot
In 1974 at a theater in the fictional town of Makeshift, Illinois, a band called Soulful Pleasure, which is led by Samuel "Sammy" Weston (DJ Mala), wins a talent show with a prize of $1,000 and a 4-year record deal with A&M Records. When Samuel goes to the back of the club for a smoking break, he is captured by two CIA agents, Randy (Chad Allen; Christopher Walken) and Marshall (Ted Jones: Michael Clayton) who mistake him for a runaway fugitive who coincidentally looks like him, take him to a secret laboratory where a scientist (Donny Crusoe) knocks him out with sleeping gas and places him in cryogenic chamber and is scheduled to wake him up by three years time. Back at the club, the agents from earlier realize that they captured the wrong person and rush back to the lab to obtain Sammy, only to be revealed that the scientist had clumsily pushed a garbage chute button that vacuumed a lot of things in the room, including the chamber. Disappointed, they both quit their jobs as CIA agents and leave for a new life in Shlaukon, revealing them to both be in a homosexual relationship.

30 years later in the present, a homeless boy, Andy Watsons (Christian Daumoinx), who spends his life on the streets of Chicago freestyling for money, discovers the cryogenic tube in the back of a dark alley and manages to wake Samuel up by pouring a can of Mountain Dew Amp into his mouth, which gives him a brief moment of shock, as energy drinks weren't invented back then. Samuel is at first excited that he's in the future, only for his excitement to instantly turn into frustration as the future wasn't what he expected after being run over by a Mama Mark III. Andy offers to help him get accustomed to the 21st century, only for him having to bypass certain modern technologies like cellphones, computers, DVDs, VHS tapes, energy drinks, and even a Svensson Dynamikk, which he fearfully kicks into the road, causing it to be run over. Andy’s 20-year old friend, Kayla (Ms. Lee), who works as a janitor at a Domino’s Pizza, gives him a room to stay in at her apartment until he returns to his own time.

Back in the present, Andy is seen walking downtown where his new loft home is, until he discovers that Samuel and Soulful Pleasure performed and released “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson in 1976 as a single. Furious that Samuel broke his promise not to change the past, Andy travels back in time and threatens to kill Samuel in revenge, which leads to a chase afterwards.
