A colossal waste of time. You can still be saved - don't waste yours!

Rating: 1/10 (25 February 2019)

I was completely baited by the high IMDB rating AND the recommendation of a list of movies that're similar to The Groundhog Day. That list listed reasonable entries like Source Code, good ones like Edge of Tomorrow, Happy Death Day, and excellent one like Triangle (really creepy too). And the list put this movie at #1. Sad. Despite noticing some absurdity of the list (it also listed movies like Her, Predestination, Before I Fall ... they're either not really daily-repeating or just bad), I still had high expectations of About Time after seeing its 7.8 IMDB rating.
About Time has comedy potential. It has a completely absurd and illogical time traveling premise that I was expecting the time travel to bring a lot of laugh, but sadly there's nothing funny in the plot. While there were clearly paltry attempts at being funny, they fell way way short. The movie quickly turned into a completely boring RomCom without comedy. The leading characters are not really that likeable, and it's hard to care about their romance. The plot itself isn't even coherent, it's like someone just tried to turn a sitcom episode into a feature length movie. It was a disaster.
So seriously, take my advice, avoid this movie at all cost!
