The movie moves episodically, leisurely, through roughly a decade, and that feels like a gift: to nestle in with these extraordinary, ordinary people and get to know them.
The self-consciousness that made the director's "Love Actually" a love-it-or-hate-it film is dialed way down. About Time is more of a love-it-or-like-it proposition.
This is by far the warmest most beautiful time travel movie ever made, and it just may be the most romantic movie ever made. I love this movie.
If you haven't seen it ....You Should.
I watched this movie years ago and had almost completely forgotten about it. I just watched it again and it made me cry in ways I haven't since Toy Story 3. Witty, inspirational, creative, and a fantastic movie about fatherhood and about being a good son.
Curtis ends up making a virtue out of the narrative’s episodic quality, a tendency that’s been criticized in his previous work; the film, like life, is just one damn thing after another, and that’s really the rather lovely point.
With more attention to detail, this could have worked, but the time travel aspects are so badly executed that the movie as a whole falters and eventually rips apart at the seams.
What makes the calculated sentimentality palatable is Curtis’ intelligent assurance as he guides us through each step. It’s a gooey indulgence, to be sure, but one that will please anybody with a cinematic sweet tooth.
About Time, inadvertently, reveals itself to be About Men, and how they devise lies in order to create the illusion that all women supposedly want to see.
Thaught provoking movie. This movie has a life message shared through the movie. "Enjoy each movement of your life. In the end that's what only matters !!".
I've never been a fan of romantic comedies, but I must admit that I liked this one, perhaps the plot is way too unreal, but it does enough for the teachings that the film wants to leave, maybe it's something cheesy, but it's something that should be expected from movies as well.
I realized after about half an hour that I was watching a romcom disguised as a time travel movie. Charming idea, everyone is lovely, but in the end without darkness I get bored pretty quick. Everything feels so chirpy in this movie. I'm giving it a 3 because it's possible for me to imagine many people liking this movie, but I did not. I stopped after about an hour of not really caring what happens next. The lead character is completely unrelatable. His love affair is completely unbelievable. I don't even care if at the end something cool happened and I missed it.
This movie ****. It was slow, dull, sappy, overly sentimental...I was so bored. I understand it was a romantic drama, and maybe that's just not my cup of tea, but I thought it needed more light hearted laughs to keep my interest. Not much happened, and it was mainly a real downer. I did like the actors, so that's one good thing, but I felt like this movie was a waste of money overall. I should have watched something else.
