The acting's fine in this movie; everybody does their part of being charming, endearing. But there's so much to knock here: the lack of central conflict in the plot, the head-scratching lapses in logic, the overexposed close-ups, the ceaseless piano soundtrack, the romanticizing of middle-upper class white Britain... The movie has its moments, especially early on, but through its latter half I was just waiting for it to be over.
A good romantic comedy although the treatment of time travel had a lot of gaps. Great acting by Rachel Mcadams and Bill Nighy made this a fun movie to watch.
Its a good romantic movie for couples, speaks to the importance of the present. Interesting twist on a sci-fi theme, but reminded me a bit of time traveler's wife.
The movie was surprisingly good. The story line was amazing. Loved it.
Excellent! Movie for men too!
I enjoyed the movie a lot. If you like watching lovey dovey movies with a touch of humor, this is the movie to watch!
Richard's Curtis trade-mark all over the place and, yet, a movie full of surprises. By watching the trailers, one can expect to find a Bridget Jones Diary-kind-of-romantic-plot, however Curtis puts that aside and astounds the audience with a hillarious and insightful reflection about, obviously, the impermanece of things, of life, the appreciation of the here and now (it sound cliche, but with his images and screenplay the reflection goes beyond). The performances are AAA, specially those of Domhnall Gleeson and Bill Nighy. Just hi-la-rious.
I loved the movie!
About Time puts its own spin on the time travel genre and is a funny, intelligent and thoughtful film. Written by Richard Curtis of Love Actually and Notting Hill fame, the movie follows the story of Tim, played by Harry Potter’s Domhnall Gleeson, who discovers every male in his family can travel back in time. The movie is less about the concept of travelling back in time and more about what one does with the extra time one has been given. At first he uses the time for inconsequential things, but then he realizes the power that comes with time travel. Oddly enough, it is Rachel McAdams’ second role as a time traveler’s wife and she is wonderful in this film. Bill Nighy is also a delight as T
About time is a great movie. Made me laugh and cry. More than just a romantic movie. Truly a must see .
