The night after another unsatisfactory New Year's party, Tim's father tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. They can't change history, but they can change what happens and has happened in their own lives. Thus begins the start of a lesson in learning to appreciate life itself as it is, as it comes, and most importantly, the people living alongside us.

I was blown away by this movie... It had me smiling like a little kid at times, tears streaming down my face at others... the part where he realised he could never go back and see his dad every again had me bawling like a kid as it struck a chord with me for very personal reasons. I hadn't even heard of it, read the blurb and took a chance as I like McAdams and Nighy but had never heard of the main character before. It's hard to put into words how wonderful this film is, the first time you watch it is like a breath of fresh air, that first smell/taste of the sea as you near the coast after a long trip. It's a powerful love story with a sci-fi twist that is just accepted as fact, so much that the whole time travel element of it is glossed over as something that simply happens... it's sci-fi only in the fact that time travel is part of the story... This is a love story through and through and I found it utterly endearing. However... what makes it so wonderful is also it's achilles heel. For me at least, it's repeat viewing value is extremely limited. You will never get that joyful feeling when watching it for the second time, in the same way that watching the Sixth Sense, or Seven Pounds...once it's over the entire meaning of the movie once known and seen cannot be recreated. That it's it's greatest achievement and failure at the same time... and I for one am saddened by that. A movie that gave me such pleasure and pain and left me feeling good in the end... can never do that again. It's that one thing that stops me giving this movie a perfect 10. Why are you still reading this... go and watch it now.

This movie is simple perfect. The first time I watched it was out of curiosity thinking it to be another romcom. But the ending took me by surprise. Never thought a romcom would have a message. Now it's my go to feel good film. It just warms your heart every single time.

What an amazing movie! Finally something decent to watch on this theme!
I must admit, the first hour is a bit "what a nonsense movie, what's the point?" But then, the true message buried under the storyline reveals to us and the pieces start to compose, we start to get the message and le More

What a beautiful message! And really well delivered as well. Went in expecting a love story and came out of it with a new perspective. I would say though, no one should be allowed more than a second chance in this world, third chance maximum. At least he never fucked up greatly and went back in time More

This one surprised me positively. I suspected a meager story with some lousy science background, but it turned out to be a story with more depth than I ever suspected.

The characters are very well written, and even some of the smaller side characters (the best friend, uncle D or Rupert) are very in More

A Delightful, sweet, and optimistic film with an uplifting focus on cherishing time with people we love and valuing family. It’s rare to find a movie that depicts a healthy, caring relationship bet More
