About Time
A time traveler meets the woman of his dreams on the way. Comedy by Richard Curtis.
Tim’s dad takes him aside on to tell him that as of his 21st birthday, he will be able to travel in time. If he thinks hard and long about where and when he wants to be, he’ll be able to beam himself into his own past and change events. And so he spends his time courting his great love Mary, as well as trying to make his landlord and his sister happy.
Time travel has always been fascinating, as witnessed by many movies, such as the Michael J. Fox series Back to the Future. Screenwriter and director Richard Curtis limits the idea to a familiar framework in which his main character can only jump back and forth in time. This may seem confusing at first, but the layers align until the point where Tim realizes that magic moments can also end in reality.

The acting is first class. Definitely worth watching more than once, and there is no time travel required.… Show more
