I LOVE that movie! It's so great that no reason is given why the main character either thinks he's from the 20's, or actually IS from the 20's! Great fun!

Amazon has the DVD available. You can buy it from them through the Golden Era Store.

I called every Blockbuster, Hollywood, Movie Gallery, and Video Update store in town, and nobody has a copy to rent. I finally asked a Blockbuster clerk where one would go to get a hard-to-find movie, and he said, "ebay." There is no joy in Springfield...

I watched this last night on Encore. Although well made I thought the acting was a bit weak. Seemed more like a stage play to me. The lead character really carried the film.

I seriously think about changing my avatar to this. (Only it's not me.)

Fyi, Netflix has this movie available.

I just saw the movie and thought it was quite cute. I was glad they do not try to explain why Johnny Twennies is retro. The plot was a bit thin but has plenty of moxie!
Fun for the whole family but beware of the f-word thrown around a lot by the bad guys. You will need to keep you finger on the mute button if you watch it with the youngsters.

This film reminds me of another zany film, The Imposters.

I have always thought that it was perfectly reasonable for Johnny Twennies to be living with his 1920s Weltanschauung. Afterall, his mother is still living in the 1890s...

BOSTON! LETS GO PATRIOTS!!!
Being that this is an older thread, the link to the preview no longer works.
But, it sure does sound like a swell film. I might just have to watch it.....
If anyone can find a link to a different preview, please post it. I couldn't find one, but I'm not that savy in cyberspace.

I've been watching Man of the Century incessantly for the last two weeks and I also bought the soundtrack. It's probably one of my top five favorite movies!

Johnny Twennies: [typing while tied up with rope] "This 'K' is broken."

Tyrus: "Then don't use 'K.'

Johnny Twennies: [aghast] "Don't use 'K!'

Watch this movie!
