There is a strong idealistic streak running through About Time. The film is inexplicably long but the genuinely funny jokes that pepper the plot save the film from plodding into a sentimental soup.

Forgetting about everything else, he decides to focus on romance in general, Mary (McAdams) in particular, and use his new time-travelling trick to set right certain wrongs. Not one to waste such a phenomenal gift, Tim is certainly a man with his priorities in order. Forget about quantum physics and those lifelong labours of Stephen Hawking and his ilk apparently, all it takes to time-travel is to close your eyes, clench your fists and focus really hard. Tim's dad (Nighy) reveals the time-travelling secret to junior one day. Keep up-to-date with the latest film news, film releases, reviews and trailers as well as what to watch.
