I don't like watching this film ......

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2019)

....because each time I watch it, I' I'm a blubbering wreck totally immersed in the belief of love ,kindness and wanting to make the world a better place. Richard Curtis really GETS people , with their ordinaryness, flaws and capacity to love. He draws rich characterisation from the story of Tim following the male family footsteps of Time Travel. You'd think it a preposterous storyline but it's given great heart and sentiment. All the actors are wonderful but a special mention for the understated joy of Bill Nighy as Tim's dad . Their relationship has me in tears each time I watch. There's plenty of laughs too as Tim attempts to woo Mary ! In my book this is Richard Curtis's finest hour ! A must see .
