A science fiction love story involving time travel that is more concerned with characters than the actually science behind anything happening in the movie - and the movie is all the better for it. I was completely charmed by this movie's heart and how it kept its characters at the front of everything. Ben Curtis has had a fascination with love - Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Love Actually - culminating in some very keen observations and musing on that word and how it affects people. In my opinion he hasn't really made a bad movie yet and he always keeps characters at the forefront of his movies. This movie is no different and plays out like a variation on Ground Hog Day only in parts of the movie as this movie is completely its own.
As I've said before, plenty of times, you give British actors some good material and only good things will happen. For some reason they always rise up to the challenge when presented with a good script. Ben Curtis not only gave them a good script but got some good actors to inhabit these characters. I liked the theme of this story about time travel - it's about a time traveler who is more interested in finding the love of his life than getting rich or seeking fame - that I find interesting. A good movie well worth the time to see.
