Sadly, the running time is more than 2 hours and the plot goes in a loop when it could have so easily made the same point in 90 minutes.

About Time is not the perfect romantic film but if you have the appetite for Curtis kind-of romantic films, you will enjoy this one.

The real love story at the heart of About Time is the one between Tim and his dad. Go watch it. Chances are, you’ll come out of the cinemas with hope in your heart and a smile on your face.

It’s a nice, original rom-com with a sci-fi twist. How often do you come across something like that?

A genuinely engaging cast contributes to the enjoyment level of the rambling story about an aspiring young lawyer (Gleeson) who is blessed with a gift which enables him to find the girl of his dreams.
… Recommended for the young at heart.

Ultimately, the message is simple and visceral enough to have crossover appeal. Give it a shot if romantic comedies float your boat.
