A little more positivity

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2018)

This is not a movie you'd expect to have a life-changing impacts (though you may have), nor one that makes your jaw drop.
This is a movie that entertains and helps you insert a little bit more of positivity in your life. So don't expect extreme conflict points or the presentation of harsh reality of life.
The main motivation of the protagonist was romance. This and the fact that Tim and Mary's relationship takes most part of the movie belittle the important key element of the relationship between Tim and his Dad. The movie feels like it tries to emphasize the relationship between Tim and Mary, even though this is only a portion of it all. Their relationship could be better too. They are both interesting but the lax chemistry between the two also presents.
The time travel element is where I like the most. Most movies would present actions and major events in the world, but in About Time the time travel is simple and it is far from the tiring idea of butterfly effect.
I understand though that Richard Curtis wanted to include all kinds of relationships that Tim has, and show a little appreciation of time for everyone. The jokes are smile-kind of funny not the laughing out loud, but they are very entertaining.
Nonetheless, a movie you would enjoy.
