Storyline

When implanted in a person's wrist, a TiMER counts down to the day the wearer finds true love. But Oona O'Leary faces the rare dilemma of a blank TiMER. Her soul mate - whoever and wherever he is - has yet to have a TiMER implanted. Staring down the barrel of thirty and tired of waiting for her would-be life partner to get off the dime, Oona breaks her own rules and falls for Mikey, a charming and inappropriately young supermarket clerk with a countdown of four months.

User Reviews

slow paced, thought provoking comedy

Other reviews have given the details, so I'll stick to overall impressions. This movie moves a little slowly, and there are no belly laughs or sophomoric humor. It also poses some questions without answering them, which enrages some people (you know who you are, so avoid this movie if you like everything to be tied in a little bow). I tend to like movies that leave you thinking, so this was refreshing for me. The movie is intelligent, and sweet and comforting like a mug of hot chocolate on a cold day. The acting was quite good, everyone was very believable in their roles and no one was over the top. If you like quirky comedies that grow on you as the movie progresses, you won't be disappointed.
