I was fortunate enough to see an advanced screening of the new Richard Curtis movie About time. The film centres on Tim, who, just after his 21st Birthday, is informed by his Dad that the men in the family have the ability to time travel back to a point in their lives and make changes.
This is an interesting concept, and the film explores the possibilities that this allows, you can go back 5 minutes and correct a single moment, ir you could go back 20 years and change an entire series of events.
This film, although perhaps it will never be the cult classic such as Four Weddings or Notting Hill, has Richard Curtis' style through it. (without Hugh Grant). There are some very funny jokes along the way, I especially liked the mad uncle, and the acting is great, especially Bill Nighy who always does well with Richard Curtis.
Ultimately this is perhaps 15/20 minutes longer than it needs to be, and the end sequence with the secret if how to be happy in life is very idealistic, but definitely worth seeing 8.5/10
