About Time Review

As sometime back, a wise guy told me that If you want to watch Romantic movies..just don’t follow the ratings ..read the story, if it appeals to you then watch it whether it is a 4 or a 5 or a 6.

So here goes the story of this gem of a movie.

Tim (Gleeson) is a very timid and a shy guy with a typical dysfunctional family.

But his father(Bill Nighy) has a secret, a family secret that the men in his family can go back in time and change what their actions were.(Time travel+romance=does not stick in the beginning)

Now as he states it doesn’t affect the fabric of time-space continuum, it becomes rather a gift which Tim was hoping would let him meet the love of his life and have great kids and live peacefully

He does meet Rachel McAdams and he rather manipulates key moments so that he can meet her and fall in love with her.

The story pretty much takes a nosedive after they get married.

Some loopholes are revealed in the time travel business and Tim learns the hard way to let some things go.

It starts as a romedy but the second half of the movie sticks us with more important thing in the world than love ..FAMILY

It's a good movie.Definitely a one time watch.

Things to watch out for:

1)Rachel McAdams is stunning!

2)Bill Nighy ‘s father act is impeccable

3)The ending sequence which fills us with nostalgia and memories of our happy days.
