Director: Richard Curtis
Starring: Bill Nighy, Rachel McAdams, Domhnall Gleeson
With a touch of Groundhog Day and a smidgen of Sliding Doors, the new film from Richard Curtis (Notting Hill, Love Actually) is that rare thing, a romantic sci-fi comedy.
Tim (Gleeson) learns from his father (Nighy) that the men of the family can travel through time, and although this doesn’t extend to changing history, Tim determines to find a new girlfriend and make the world a better place. Neither ambition proves easy to accomplish, but after moving from Cornwall to train as a lawyer in London he eventually meets the gorgeous but diffident Mary (McAdams).
They fall in love, but a supernatural glitch means their initial encounter keeps repeating itself and goes no further. Curtis’ ingenious script and a great ensemble cast carry us entertainingly through the conundrums.
