Do you ever wish you could go back in time and relive a moment, maybe do things a little differently? Even if you live with the “no regrets” attitude, I’m sure you can think of a moment you may have handled better, especially if you had the hindsight. About Time from filmmaker Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral) opens in select theaters on November 1 and in theaters everywhere on November 8th. The story follows Tim Lake and what happens when he discovers that time travel runs in his family history and that the males in his family tree have all been able to travel back in time, including himself.
More About the Film
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.

I was able to see a sneak peek of this movie with a girl friend last week. We were thrilled to get out of the house and have some “girl time” and really enjoyed the movie. About Time isn’t a movie that either of our hubbies would be interested in so it was great that we were able to see it together. This isn’t an action movie by any stretch, instead it’s a romantic comedy unlike any other I’ve seen. The time travel element made it really interesting. If you get a chance to see it, let me know what you think!
