The movie revolves around Tim who is told after his is 21 that he can travel back in time. Tim then struggles to figure out how to use his gift effectively and live the best life that he can.

The acting within this movie is spot on! Bill Nighy does such an amazing job. I looked forward to the scenes that were him and Domhnall Gleeson were talking in. The two just played so well off of each other. Speaking of Domhnall, he blew me away. I didn't really know much about the actor and now I'm sad that I don't. He truly makes you fall in love with him throughout the movie. (He reminds me so much of Chad Sugg (Cover 1 Cover 2 Cover 3 Cover 4 Cover 5 Original just some of my favorite songs of his). I always love that awkward, smart, nerdy type of guy!) Also side note! Bill Nighy plays Victor from Underworld & Domhnall Gleeson plays Bill Weasley from the Harry Potter series.

The settings for the movie are beautifully done. They feel like real places instead of being some set; so props are needed for the prop department because they knocked it out the park. I'm also happy that they didn't really have any special effects in the movie. They could have over played the time travel aspect of the plot, but they didn't. They kept it very clean in simple in this world of overly done CGI.

This movie surprisingly isn't a full chick flick. The love story within the movie isn't the main focus of the movie. There are moments spent on Tim's relationship with his sister, Kit Kat, and his dad. I would call this a feels movie, because you will feel every emotion that you have your entire life. They also balance the emotions throughout the movie. You never get stuck in one emotion; it is more of a fluid movement between them all. (I will have to admit that I did almost cry a few (like three) times...)

The movie (even though there is time travel) feels so realistic. Nothing feels unbelievable. It feels like this is what would actually happen if someone had the ability to travel back in time. Along with that realism, the dialogue is just so wonderful. It is thoughtful, smart, and so well written. None of it felt predictable, and I couldn't even count the number of times that I was laughing throughout the film. I definitely got pulled into the movie's plot, and fell in love with the characters. I would highly recommend this movie. It is one of my favorite movies, and I can't wait to buy it on DVD and watch it a million times. It was just perfect, and balanced the different trials throughout one's life. I couldn't even pick a favorite moment because I loved the whole movie, which means there is no least favorite moment because they were all amazing!

So go watch the movie if you haven't already, and if you have tell me what you thought of the film. Hope you have a great day!
