TiMER - Blockbuster New Releases Information

I’m pretty sure that the only reason this film didn’t get wide-spread theatrical distribution is because of the (almost) no-name cast, because everything else about it was fantastic. The combination of great acting, well-drawn and complex characters, and high-concept plot resulted in an adorable, charming and engaging movie. Perfect for a night in. Kudos to the director. I hope he does more like it…

I’m sure I won’t do the movie justice with this little review but I had to add my two cents by saying I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great acting, solid script, though an indy it didn’t feel low budget to me — I recommend seeing this film! (Be aware it fully deserves it’s R rating for language but if that doesn’t distract you from enjoying a good movie then it’s definitely worth watching.)

I’ll admit I have an affinity for ‘What If?’ movies like this. Ones that tell stories which start off with a slightly unrealistic premise in order to make us explore a concept that deserves to be pulled from the back of our collective subconscious so we can examine it’s full implications. Other examples that spring to mind are Sliding Doors, The Truman Show, Twilight of the Golds, and (I would add) Groundhogs Day.

So give your ‘willing suspension of disbelief’ a little more chain to run around the yard and discover what this great romantic movie has to say.

By 

B. Kester (Tulsa, OK) –

  

I gather this film was begun by the basic premise of the timers, which (without giving anything away) tell the owners when they will meet the love of their lives. The movie takes this idea and really explores many of the ins and outs of the concept (as it has become well accepted and fairly integrated into everyday live) and how it affects different people in regards to love. I found the writing to be quite splendid and I laughed out loud multiple times – a result of the combination of great writing and excellent delivery.

What a great cast!

I cannot speak much of the cinematography or music of the film as I was too wrapped up in the story to notice!

My only complaint was that I felt the buildup to and the ending to be predictable. But, I still enjoyed it to the end. It’s nice to see solid films like this emerge in the terribly boring Remake Mania overtaking American cinema these days.
