Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Love the humour, love the storyline. My daughter and I keep watching it - its our favourite. It's an intelligent witty movie.

It's very brilliant. A film with a moral lesson put in the nicest way poeeible. I found myself going back in my mind in time to moments where I would act in a different way, which you can make up for now.

I cannot say that this movie is the better one. Actually, I think is pretty basic, but it makes you feel sad, happy and desperate. Even with a movie who develops a plot full of cliches, the emotions that cause in the viewer are a big point for the movie.
They start creating expectatives in the viewer, when I saw it, I was thinking "great, this movie is about time traveling". Sadly, at the end they put this ability in second term. What we can rescue from this movie is the message. They send an incredible moral about life and to make the viewer understand it, they show us how the characters´s life change through the years, happy and sad moments that almost everyone experience.

This is not a movie you'd expect to have a life-changing impacts (though you may have), nor one that makes your jaw drop.This is a movie that entertains and helps you insert a little bit more of positivity in your life. So don't expect extreme conflict points or the presentation of harsh reality of life.The main motivation of the protagonist was romance. This and the fact that Tim and Mary's relationship takes most part of the movie belittle the important key element of the relationship between Tim and his Dad. The movie feels like it tries to emphasize the relationship between Tim and Mary, even though this is only a portion of it all. Their relationship could be better too. They are both interesting but the lax chemistry between the two also presents.The time travel element is where I like the most. Most movies would present actions and major events in the world, but in About Time the time travel is simple and it is far from the tiring idea of butterfly effect.I understand though that Richard Curtis wanted to include all kinds of relationships that Tim has, and show a little appreciation of time for everyone. The jokes are smile-kind of funny not the laughing out loud, but they are very entertaining.Nonetheless, a movie you would enjoy.
