About Time - Movie Review

About Time is a movie that takes place in Britain about a young man who, at 21, is told by his father that the male members of the family have the ability to travel back in time during their lives. They can also change events that happened to them. With this premise, the main character attempts to find a woman to love.

I saw this film as part of a sneak preview offered for free from my Scene card membership with my wife. We have seen the previous films that the director/writer Richard Curtis has done: Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral, several Mr Bean and Blackadder episodes...etc. We really liked the film and its attention to the development of the characters and its lighthearted humor. The thread of the theme "live your life to the fullest" weaves throughout the movie and the main character's manipulation of the people around him by restarting events does not come off as creepy.

Highly recommended as a date film.
