About time

Cast: Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy(Father),Lydia Wilson(Kit Kat),Lindsay Duncan(Mother)

Director: Richard Curtis

Genre: Romance, Family, Drama

 

 

Its a nice home watch with family and/or partner. Take home is the beautiful moral by the end of the movie

PS: Karan Johar should watch some such movies and promote some better family values in India


Pluses:

• Loved the presentation by Richard Curtis, the way he did blend a fraction of fantasy with reality, and managing to pull off not making the flick look chilish or mere fantasy alone, but instead connect with the adult mindset
• Minus the moral of the story, the movie is just average. So the script is aptly written for apt audience. A simple story with an invigorating positive moral to keep in mind as you walk out of the theater. What if we could change our past, correct things gone wrong! Does that really help or its just too good to be true. And what if its a mixed bag, with its own pros and cons. May be then you are good without a power of such kinds and live life as it comes
• All the actors well played the simple roles, specially the leads viz. Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams. I still remember Rachel in her 'Notebook' days, she has only become more beautiful :) While Domhnall carries a boyish charm throughout :)
• All the supports from Bill Nighy,Lydia Wilson,Lindsay Duncan were apt and significant in its own place. I like the small nitty gritty things about family values there

Minuses:

Sad that such movies dont find much of audience in India, and are hardly released here, and if at all, only selected theaters play them. I guess its time when India needs its female audience to start hitting theaters for such movies, which will help gain some market, apart from the regular action and sci-fi flicks

My rating: 3.5/5
