Review of About Time (2013) by Cabry — 09 Jan 2015

The time traveling is not explained well. The father and son appear to never have disagreed about anything ever. There is maybe 20 mins of conflict in this 2 hour film. It is essentially about a Hugh Grant knockoff playing puppet master with other people's lives and we are suppose to accept this as a good thing--that others might prefer how the events played out initially.

Of course he doesn't tell his wife anything. Rachel McAdams plays a woman whose sole purpose in the film is to adore the male lead and have her life manipulated unknowingly by him under the illusion that he always make the right decisions for the both of them.

There are also montages. Lots and lots and lots of montages.
