Mumbai Oct 10th 2013(Eddie Patel):'Love actually' (2003) was richard curtis' first directional venture followed by 'Pirate Radio' (2009) & now 'About Time', a NBC universal (universal Pictures) & Relaivity media presentation. Apart from direction, Richard Curtis has been a producer & a writer for movies such as '4 weddings & a funeral' (1994), 'notting Hill' (1997),'bridget jones' Diary' (2001),&c.
'About Time', a romantic, English comedy has Domhall gluson as Tim, who on his 21st birthday finds out that in his family,the men have a secret, genetic talent (gift) - they can travel in time-they only need to concentrate in a dark room,fists denched & thaen revisit any moment in their life & change what happens or what has happened in their lives. so Tim goes from cornwall coast to london, to train as a lawyer,travels in time using his gifted talent to led girls,tries to find a girlfreind...does find mary (Racheal McAdams) a beautiful,insecure woman, falls in love her...but time travel has its own problems...he wants to perfect it,therefore keeps going back in time to meet her & win her over, but amusingly it happens that he is meeting her for the 1st time again & again...so he has to master this time travel activity & use it to heep himself, heep his sister, save his friends from professional,disaster,even avoid pathetic best man speeches & even once get his pregnant wife to hospital in time through a traffic jam for their daughter's birth.
life goes on....but all along mary does not know of his secret gifted talent...but there are limits to his gifted talent...he definately cannot do away with hiler.
zoey Deschanel was originally supposed to play the role of mary,but Rachel Mcadams had previously done a similar role of a character falling in love with a time traveller in 'The Time Traveller's wife' (2009) opposite EricBana.
Bill nighy as Tim's father,(a retired academic),Lindsay Duncan as the mother (a gardenning fanatic & an andy warhol loolike) Lydia wilson as kit kat , (the younger sister) are the other very likeable charactors in the movie.
Richard Curtis in most of his movies has an endearing disabled uncle D played by Richard Cordery.
One is reminded of time travel movies like Chris marker's 'La Jette' at one extreme & 'Back to the future' series on the other extreme. This movie is not to be missed & it comes with an unerlined message that we have to live each day twice; first experience it & then again savour it.
