Synopsis: At the age of 21, Tim discovers he can travel in time and change what happens and has happened in his own life. His decision to make his world a better place by getting a girlfriend turns out not to be as easy. 
Review: The story has a slice of science-fiction with the time travel. But no special effects. The way the time travel is done is really like the way I played it as a kid. You go in a dark place, close your eyes, close your fists and Bang! Then the love and life story presents a traditional life, with the relations with parents, with a sister, with friends, with lovers, but always with a personal perpective. Of a guy that can replay, but finally does not want to replay everything, because life is already good as it is, if looking the life on the right way. Even in crisis times. I find the way the off is used having a perfect timing and the perfect quite voice, giving the impression to live the life of Tim on different levels. Very interesting sensation! Bill Nighy is huge and shows again how wide his play is. I like also a lot the charm of Rachel McAdams. On top of it, I laughed a lot. The last comedy of this magnitude was... hmm, I cannot find the movie in JoRafCinema, so it was more than one year...  
Rating: 8 /10
