Movie Review: About Time

About Time Directed by Richard CurtisStarring Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy and Lydia Wilson
I was so excited that an advanced showing of a movie came to our town! My husband treated us to dinner and the movie, of course with popcorn, peanut M & M's (this theater doesn't sell Goobers) and a soda with two straws. The ticket agent told him she had been given 90 free tickets and we got the first two. There were a total of seven people in the theater.

This was the BEST TIME TRAVEL MOVIE ever! A young man is told all male family members have the gift of traveling back in time for 'do-overs'. Wonderfully played by Domhnall Gleeson, he was the awkward every-man whose life pretty much sucked socially. The do-overs allowed him to have a second chance at getting the girl, a reader of the slush-piles at a publisher. As an author who used to be in the slush pile, this really caught my fancy. He was also able to help a friend, a gloomy playwright who's play bombed on opening day. Unfortunately, this changed things with the girl, and set off a chain of events to overcome.

Very entertaining. The whole cast was superb. I look forward to more Richard Curtis films and Domhnall Gleeson is a leading man I look forward to following!
