I was really pleasantly surprised by this film. I didn't have any high expectations, but I'm fascinated by time travel and will watch anything built around it. This script was really interesting especially in using the idea of parallel universes, but I kept thinking how much better the movie would have been if more had been done with it. I figure that a lot of this had to do with budget. Stripped down scenes (i.e. the whole original accident scenario being condensed into one talk between Anne and her psychiatrist) could have been fleshed out and shown on screen. Also, It bugged me that "Anne" seemed to always be wearing the same, or very similar clothing and that her hairstyle never changed. Again I put this down to budget, but it was noticeable.
Brooke Burns was quite good but some of the other actors were marginal. The woman playing her psychiatrist was unconvincing and the couple owning the bed and breakfast seemed a bit corny. Although the "simple" young man acted okay, his role was never explained effectively.
I think this script was good enough to have been made into a feature with a few tweaks and a topnotch production team behind it. Some of the plot twists were obviously telegraphed (Susan being dead in the second scenario) and could have been more delicately handled. Also, I think the child predator story line was really lame.
But overall, there was a strong structure to the plot and the ending was satisfying. Maybe, it will be made again with everything just a little better. I'd be happy to see it.
