About Time is the story
of Tim who discovers the men in his family can travel back in their own
timelines and do things differently. Because most of these men aren’t big
players in history, their actions haven’t had any major consequences for the
larger world but that doesn’t mean consequences don’t happen to them.
I love that the
protagonist is awkward, bumbling, and sweet. He’s not an action star or
ridiculously good looking but a normal, dorky guy. I know guys like Tim and I
was definitely rooting for him. He had this amazing power and used it wisely.
The message was about the time we have and enjoying our lives which is a little
hackneyed but was done differently enough that I liked it.
The words I keep coming
back to are quiet and sweet. Tim had an ordinary life with an extraordinary
thing he used in small ways. He had a wonderful family and used his ability to
get the most out of them. A typical guy might be a little bored but most women
will enjoy it. I’m not a romantic and I had a good time.
Also, anyone else find
it odd that this is the second ‘moving in time’ movie Rachel McAdams has done?
That plot line isn’t over done yet. I smell typecasting.
