British rom-com writer/director, Richard Curtis – Love Actually, Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral –is back with a time travel tale that feels part Groundhog Day meets The Notebook.
If you could do a day over, or a minute of that day, to make the outcome just right, would you? But what if the lesson learned turns out to be the value of family? And so we follow Tim (Domnhall Gleeson) a 21 year old geek, who learns from his father (Bill Nighy) that like all the men of their family before him, he has the ability to time travel.
In essence, he can make life what he wants it to be, but all he wants, is Love, actually. He’s the Hugh Grant of this film. Enter Mary (Rachel McAdams) previously known as the Julia Roberts or Andie MacDowell of the other Richard Curtis films.
A cornball movie that delivers many messages that somehow miraculously leaves an audience in tears – which is incredible considering we aren’t really sure that we like the film. ♕ ♚ ♛
