## Description

Product Description The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim's (Domhnall Gleeson) father (Bill Nighy) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can't change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life—so he decides to make his world a better place…by getting a girlfriend (Rachel McAdams). But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can't save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere. From filmmaker Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral), About Time is a comedy about love and time travel, which discovers that, in the end, making the most of life may not need time travel at all.Bonus Content:Deleted Scenes with Intros by Director Richard CurtisBlooper Reel: Making Movies Is a Serious Business"The Luckiest" MusicEllie Goulding "How Long Will I Love You?" Music VideoFeature Commentary with Director Richard Curtis and Cast Members Domhnall Gleeson, Bill Nighy, Vanessa Kirby, Lydia Wilson & Tom Hollander Review For more than three decades, filmmaker Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral) has crafted his signature voice in the world of movies and television, giving audiences unforgettable characters who have alternately allowed us to laugh at our ever-so-human foibles and to share a tear at the extraordinary journeys that accompany our ordinary lives. Now, with About Time, Curtis gives us his most personal film to date. At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) discovers he can travel in time… The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim’s father (Bill Nighy) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can’t change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life—so he decides to make his world a better place...by getting a girlfriend. Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as you might think. Moving from the Cornwall coast to London to train as a lawyer, Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (Rachel McAdams). They fall in love, then an unfortunate time-travel incident means he’s never met her at all. So they meet for the first time again—and again—but finally, after a lot of cunning time traveling, he wins her heart. Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic proposal, to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches and to save his best friend from professional disaster. But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can’t save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere. There are great limits to what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous, too. About Time is a comedy about love and time travel, which discovers that, in the end, making the most of life may not need time travel at all.

Review: DELIGHTFULLY SWEET AND CHARMING ROMANTIC COMEDY - Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams shine in this delightful romantic comedy that will bring a smile to your heart. It's sweet story of love and the joys of struggles of maturing through life. Tim (Gleeson) is a mildly nerdy but totally lovable guy stumbling through life until his father (Bill Nighy) reveals a deep and shocking family secret. All the men in the family have the ability to time travel. They can only go back in time and only to events in their actual life. They can't go back and change history but can redirect events in their own lives. There can be a comparison to GROUNDHOG DAY but ABOUT TIME takes a different direction as Tim mostly uses time travel to enhance his romantic life and always with the best of intentions. Life changes for Tim when he meets lovely Mary (Rachel McAdams) in a dating in the dark event in a pub. Cool idea. Two couples sitting in the dark and talking without seeing what each other looks like. Needless to say a warm love story ensues. McAdams is always lovely and Gleeson's pleasant gangly looks endear him to the audience. Tim loses Mary's number so time travel to the rescue to meet her again. Travelling back to the near past, Tim already knows Mary but she is a stranger to him, so he has to act carefully. Their first night together, Tim feels awkward so he can go back in time twice to improve his performance. The third time is a charm and the idea is hilarious. Tim makes an occasional trip back in time to tweak an event such as who should be his best man. A trip too far back in time to help his troubled sister changes the present in a shocking and unexpected way. Be careful with that time travel. ABOUT TIME is a great rainy day film to enjoy with a loved one or when you just are on your own and want a "lift" after a run day. Sometimes we just need a happy and fun film with no major conflicts or troublesome character. ABOUT TIME is pure fun and delight. If there is one flaw, it's simply that this nice film could have even been better with more humor and time travel. As it is, ABOUT TIME is a delightful sweet film.
Review: Pure Feel-Good Movie With Lots of Charm - I like the idea of time travel movies and thought this looked cute, but it ended up being so much more. It's a wonderful, uplifting, feel-good movie that's romantic, charming, thought provoking and easy to get lost in. The characters are tremendously likable, from Domhnall Gleeson, whose journey from geeky teen to thoughtful man is a pleasure to watch, to Rachel McAdams as the woman he travels through time for, to Bill Nighy as the father whose wisdom and warmth shapes the entire family. While time travel is part of the plot -- at age 21, the men in the family acquire the ability to go back to different points in their own lives -- it's not about changing history, chasing money or fame or using time travel for some grand agenda. Rather, the focus is on the relationships and learning to be happy. There are humorous moments, and some very sweet ones, as well as the inevitable tangle of trying to change one thing and mistakenly undoing other important things that then need to be fixed. But all of this is backdrop -- it's really a story about love, family, and what's truly important in life. It's a bit old fashioned, yet the message is timeless, and the characters are people you want to spend time with. If you're looking for a charming, happy, purely feel-good movie that will leave you feeling uplifted, it doesn't get much better than this.
