about time it finished

Rating: 5/10 (19 August 2013)

I was invited for a screening today and mostly went because Rachel Mcadams is Beautiful. Well firstly I'm not into British Movie and this one didn't help to change my mind.
The script was the problem really. The dialogue are really good but the story is not proportional. First it's a love story about a guy who find his love, then you have to forget about it and focus only on the dad and then once you think it s finally going to be over you realise that it's actually going to be a lifetime story of a man, rushed near the end. The girlfriend (Rachel McAdams) is kind of the heart of the movie in the first part, then she's nonexistent in the second half. Why so much built up in a character to just not use it later? She literally sleep in all her scenes. All the part with the dad is quite good, thank to a very good acting from Bill Nighy (the dad).
The main actor is not likable as well, unless you fancy skinny ginger hair. The non nice looking guy who got only the hot girls... I m sorry, was I watching an American movie? No.
The idea had a very good potential but I guess the screenwriter got a bit too existed in the message he tried to delivered.
So my 5 is only for the dialogues and Bill Nighy.
So go see this movie if you like Bill Nighy because he's really worth it in it, otherwise don't bother, just wait it air on ITV with the weather and news in the middle of the film.
