Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
auser-21183 I've watched a lot of scifi/time travel movies, while this one is not the most scientific or plot-hole-free, it has a plot that's tight, clever, tense, funny enough to win any scifi or movie fans in general over. I would rank it among top 5% of all movies I've watched.BTW don't believe in the "Dr Who meetings Shaun of the Dead". I watched and liked "Shaun of the Dead" (Hot Fuzz too), but I'd rate those 7 stars and this one 9.
Carol Cyr I enjoyed this movie, although I admit all the different time-travel threads had me a bit confused. Chris O'Dowd was charming as usual, and the other leads did well too. This is going to sound a bit nit- picky, but one thing that annoyed me was the British words that the American character kept using:1. An American is never going to call a closet a "cupboard", no matter how many times she's read Harry Potter. 2. She would also never say "quite dull" (she would say "really boring"). 3. We rarely ever, unless we're film critics, use the word "film" to mean a movie. 4. Also, although I love the word "sorted" as the Brits use it (it just has such a sense of finality and taken-care-of-ness to it), Americans never use it that way. If something is sorted, it means a bunch of papers or something that have been cataloged into different categories or piles or something - you know, SORTED.I just wish the producers had gotten an American to look over the American's dialog just once to weed out these distracting British- isms. Anyway, stupid points but they took me out of the world of the movie momentarily. Be sure to watch the entire credits - there's something right after them to see.
MacShoreman This is a lovely little movie. Amazing actors but I would preferred Ferrel's character less stereotype "blond". O'Dowd, Wootton and Kelly was really great even though the script made them in short moment seem to be bickering brainless protozoans. I love the story. In comparison to Steve Pink's "Hot Tub Time Machine" (2010) it was more action in the story than on the screen, which I found enjoyable. The time jump events might have been bit tricky to follow but they should be, what would be the point of creating a story around paradoxes if not? In general this is a good movie and I think even non SciFi fans with a taste for light British humor would like this movie. It is not a Hollywood production wish is not a negative thing when it comes to this one. No over amazing special effects but high quality set and props framed the story perfect. Gareth Carrivick had a good story to work with and a simple straight forward directing with good timing made this movie to a non stop enjoyment to watch.
Nithya Manu Don't get turned off by the title. Even though the title sounds bit nerdy, the movie isn't a documentary or anything. It is a good time travel movie with humour and thrills. Most of us would have watched many time travel movies by now and hence are pretty familiar with the general rules in time travel movies. They are cleverly embedded in this movie too :) This movie gives me a hope that even I could time travel, without a machine or anything. Very enjoyable movie..keeps you really hooked. Wonder why it isn't more popular. I started watching at midnight with plans to hit bed soon..but i got so hooked that i ended up finishing it.
