A charming, sometimes brilliant use of the time travel meme. Tim is left with the biggest decision of anyone's life: embracing the future and saying goodbye to the past, even when it means tremendous loss. Until that fateful moment, it's just been about fixing minor things and reliving good times. But, in the end, a poignant philosophical junction that is as original as it is provocative.
Some parts are miscast, requiring constantly trying to make Rachel McAdams seem frumpy in order for the union with Gleeson seem believable. And McGuire plays like a comedic relief mascot. But, still, the acting is superb, Nighy, Wilson, and Cordery in particular. All in all, a delightful tale reduced to film impeccably.
If I had seen this in the cinema, I would have been standing and applauding. It's hard to find a film today that is so worth watching.
