It's an excellent feel-good film with the romantic skills of Richard Curtis at the helm.

There's no better film for us than one that combines pathos, humour and romance. About Time has all three in carefully managed proportions. We laughed, cried and came out feeling all warm and cuddly.

The basic plot is about a young lad who learns from his father that he can travel back in his own time-line and rerun elements of his life. This enables him to win the heart of the girl/woman he falls in love with. Thereafter he struggles to maintain his life situation so that all of his family remain happy. There are limitations on what he can do and how far he can go back but these don't become apparent until later in the film.

If you are in a relationship and what to remind yourself why life is so much better than the alternative then this is a "must see" film.
