    • Trivia
      During one of his jumps forward, Teddy remarks on how Leanne hasn't aged, asking if she's got a portrait up in the attic. This is a reference to Oscar Wilde's 1890 novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, in which a man sells his soul so that his portrait will age while he remains young.

    We only live once
    For a comedy romance, I won't think this is topnotch, this movie totally shouldn't classify as this kind. Snapshot of 10 years in 30 mins is the ground of the story. We are busy for living, ignore the details, miss the precious time with closed ones, I feel is what the writer research many elder life stories. For a middle age man, I can't disagree so much about the blueprint and feel everyone should makes all our regrets controllable whatever it takes. That's not difficult, watch this movie makes you know how things can be done properly. This is not just a comedy but so many life physiology inside.
