About Time
To make big bucks in time travel bring retro furniture back to sell to deep-pocketed hipsters.
Regrettably, the transporter in this romantic movie cannot return with bubble chairs.
On his 21st birthday Tim's (Domhnall Gleeson) father (Bill Nighy) tells him he has inherited time travel abilities.
Restricted to only traversing backwards, Tim uses his newfound powers to rectify his bumbling present until it works in his favour.
This technique is never used to exertion more then when he encounters Mary (Rachel McAdams).
But what happens when Tim has a life-altering experience that he cannot alter?
A hybrid of fantasy and romance, About Time isn't great at conveying either genre accurately.
With an awkward-looking lead, crater-sized plot holes, and an abortive approach to the laws of love and time travel, this twaddle is prosaic in any epoch.
Incidentally, on a non-time-travelling 21-year-old's birthday, their dad usually tells them to move out.
