				"Lesson Number One: 
				All the time traveling in the world can't make someone love you."
				
				- Tim   
				Why watch this? 
				This delightful British romantic comedy has a message about how 
				we spend time. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Our protagonist is the awkward Tim, who just can't figure out 
				the opposite sex. Then his father, on this 21st birthday, drops 
				the bomb that the men in his family can travel back in time. 
				What!? Astonished, Tim immediately tests this assertion, and 
				well, Dad was right. The rest of this rom-com delves into 
				several love-based situations enhanced by Tim's unique ability. 
				Say the wrong thing at a dinner party? No problem - just hide in 
				a closet, travel back in time, and redo it. Dad's Preview: 
				British romantic comedies are familiar ground for director 
				Curtis, who gave us the delightful 
				Four 
				Weddings and a Funeral (1994) and 
				Love 
				Actually (2003). This time-warping treasure is simple, 
				sweet, and thought provoking. I kept waiting for something bad 
				to occur, as is the case in nearly all time-travel films, but 
				not here, thankfully.  You'll laugh and cry as Tim figures out what to do, and NOT 
				DO, with his gift. Gleeson and McAdams are adorable, and Bill Nighy, as usual, steals every scene he's in.
