What Is ‘The Adam Project’ About?
To say I had the time of my life making this film would be an understatement. And a misleading reference to Dirty Dancing. #TheAdamProject on @Netflix March 11th. pic.twitter.com/5Y0sLzX2Bp

The teaser opens on a 12-year-old boy named Adam, played by Walker Scobell. He’s struggling with the loss of his father (Mark Ruffalo) and getting into trouble at school, which is causing his mother (Jennifer Garner) a great deal of concern.
One night, a strange man (Ryan Reynolds) enters his house. He knows his way around the house, he has the same scar, and he’s wearing his late father’s watch. Adam quickly realizes that he is talking to himself… from the future.
Reynolds explains to his younger self that “This world, our world, everything has already been changed” and they need to team up to “put the genie back in the bottle.”
The film is directed by Shawn Levy, who also directed Reynolds’ 2021 comedy “Free Guy.” The script was written by Jonathan Tropper, T.S. Nowlin, Jennifer Flackett, and Mark Levin.
The film is scheduled to debut on Netflix on Friday, March 11. However, many critics have already seen the film through early screenings, and they don’t have enough positive things to say! Neither does Ryan Reynolds, who has been retweeting all of the positive reviews to his Twitter account!

Okay, so #TheAdamProject is the best standalone film I've seen since 2020 — absolutely phenomenal. Had a blast listening to the cast talk about this incredibly special and heartwarming genre-bending movie.
And let me also say, @NetflixFilm knows how to throw one hell of a party. pic.twitter.com/PZ4GGm5XNb

The #FreeGuy team of star Ryan Reynolds & director Shawn Levy deliver another GREAT original sci-fi gem in #TheAdamProject, an inventive time-travel adventure w/ shades of STAR WARS & BACK TO THE FUTURE. Maybe some FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR, too. Funny & thrilling & heartwarming pic.twitter.com/qALGPth1d8

I’m a sobbing, weepy, ugly-cry mess right now.
I just finished #TheAdamProject.
The moment it was over, I called my parents and told them that I love them.
Thank you @VancityReynolds and @ShawnLevyDirect.
That was absolutely beautiful.

There’s an element to #TheAdamProject I didn’t expect, and it hurt the most.
My dad died when I was 23. I’d give anything to have a conversation with him now, when I had more life under my belt, and could understand us better. @NetflixFilm @ShawnLevyDirect @VancityReynolds

The Adam Project is so much FUN! Love the 80s sci-fi feel. Was blown away from start to finish. Walker Scobell is incredible. Ryan Reynolds & Mark Ruffalo are amazing on screen together and wow, I was not expecting to be shedding some tears. This is a MUST WATCH! #TheAdamProject pic.twitter.com/cqSbi7uv7S

The Adam Project is a sci-fi adventure, comedy, & heartwarming drama all rolled into 1. Walker Scobell is perfect as a young @VancityReynolds. Ryan Reynolds & @MarkRuffalo just made me laugh & cry. Loved it
As Adam would say: Holy sh*t this movie is a must see#TheAdamProject pic.twitter.com/tQAab0u2Hw

#TheAdamProject is a tremendously fun throwback to 80’s sci-fi adventures, with a sneaky emotional element. I did not expect to cry. Ryan Reynolds and Mark Ruffalo are great in a Shaw Levy film that would make Spielberg proud.@ShawnLevyDirect @VancityReynolds @MarkRuffalo pic.twitter.com/ggdKQaNAvC
