About Time
The night after another unsatisfactory New Year's party, Tim's father tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. They can't change history, but they can change what happens and has happened in their own lives. Thus begins the start of a lesson in learning to appreciate life itself as it is, as it comes, and most importantly, the people living alongside us.
Critics Sentiment
James teaches Tim to live each day twice for happiness
Tim fails to win Charlotte despite using time travel
The film dramatically elevates from the Charlotte rejection disappointment to the profound father-son wisdom about living each day twice.
About Time builds steadily from a charming but conventional romantic setup into something much deeper and more meaningful. The film reaches its emotional peak with the father-son relationship and life philosophy, leaving audiences profoundly moved. Critics consistently praised its transformation from romantic comedy into a meditation on family, mortality, and appreciating life's ordinary moments.
