At the age of 21, Tim discovers he can travel in time and change what happens and has happened in his own life. His decision to make his world a better place by getting a girlfriend turns out not to be as easy as you might think.

I have a feeling that it has been a while since I have last seen a movie that was either written or directed by Richard Curtis. But after looking back over his filmography I have realised that he has been involved with a few of my favourite movies and television shows.
Personally I found that there’s an awkwardness to the plot that caused me to pause the DVD a few times, but I’m glad that I stuck with it because Richard Curtis made a good point with his movie, that we need to take the time to enjoy our lives.
Though Rachel McAdams is always a joy to watch in any movie, I found that I was kind of impressed with Domhnal Gleeson’s performance. He seemed to bring what could only be described as Hugh Grantesque sense of charming awkwardness
