Time Freak

I'm someone who wants to fix everything and this was kinda wake up call for me. Just watched when I needed something like this.

Some scenes were expected but I still enjoyed the movie. Sophie's American accent is also getting better. I enjoyed listening to her pronunciations. Lol. Asa has always been a good actor and Skyler's humor added a spice in the movie.

I'm a sucker for time travel movies and trying to fix what went wrong. Add a romance to that and I'm often a bigger sucker.

This movie is okay. It's sweet and silly and sometimes a bit ludicrous, but above-average fun.

I think that the biggest surprise and the movie's saving grace is Skyler Gisondo as Evan. I've never seen him before, but his work here is remarkable. He takes what could have been a thankless, ridiculous second banana role and arguably makes the whole film so much more than it would be without him.

If you watch this movie just to see what Skyler does with his part, and think about - and this is apropos for a time travel movie - the acting choices he could have made, or what another lesser actor might have done with the role, you won't be sorry.

I think that in this movie, you can feel engaged in the characters (like in Stillman) in the decisions sometimes, like creating a space and imagine, if I do this and this it will be so different, and sometimes a feel like the decisions made by Stillman was so exaggerated. But in the other hand, I felt that this movie was ENJOYABLE and kinda CUTE to be honest. It is a Great movie for teenagers and specially for those who are in a relationship.

The main reason to watch this movie are the actors, they are cute kids in what amounts to a rom-com but with a semi-serious message at the end. Curiously the two leads are both British but their American accents are so good you'd never know if you didn't know.

They are in college in Denver and boy meets girl, they get along, but after some time the girl says it won't work. The boy, a Physics prodigy of sorts, decides it is his fault, so he invents a way to travel back and forth in time, figuring he can go back and correct the problems and keep the girl.

It is an entertaining movie for the most part, although it gets a bit muddled in the second half. Then too much back-N-forth time travel starts to have undesired effects. Ultimately the message they deliver is not to mess with life too much, work with what you have.

I watched it on Amazon streaming movies.
