James vs. His Future Self

A really enjoyable time travel movie where a young scientist is visited by his older future self in order to persuade him not to invent time travel. Daniel Stern, famous for Home Alone,who plays the older James, steals the show, his acting is first rate and the supporting cast do their job admirably. It might be a little cliched, but I found it a warm, entertaining movie which will make you laugh.

It's a fun idea, and it all begins well enough but we're soon completely trapped in every standard romcom cliché. I honestly don't understand why people go through all the time and effort and costs of making a movie when you're just going to take the predictable route so many movies have done before.

Charming, quirky and funny with a valid message regarding the pointlessness of worrying about the future or obssessing about the past - and never taking the time to enjoy the present. Good to see Daniel Stern again but couldn't they have found another actor to play his younger self who was the same height? Time travel 'stretches you' doesn't work, not even with Hollywood physics. Otherwise harmless, good fun and worth a watch.

I got 30 seconds into the Trailer and knew that I had to watch this film. It really didn't disappoint. I'd put it up there with films like Super or American Splendor. There are certain films that you can enjoy but know that you could live without, this isn't one of those films.

I loved every character in this except for the younger James at certain moments because he is just so infuriating. He can be having the perfect moment and just ruin it in an instant.

The film is about love and friendship, it is a truly romantic film along the lines of Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. It's a person torn between his life's work and the love of his life. It's got laugh out loud moments but I wouldn't call it a Comedy. It's just a great film.

I took a star off a perfect score because there was a slight moment in the film towards the end that I didn't think was necessary. It doesn't take away from the film but it felt a little forced. I loved this film though and I can see me watching it many times in the future.

One of the reasons that I love comedy genre is that they teach us valuable lessons. For example, I learned a lot from the movie . This is the story of a scientist who is obsessed with his work which is inventing the time travel. As the title shows his future version travels back to change what he did in the past. The story is very well-written. The plays are one level below the story. The usage of background music and movements of the camera could be improved. The scenes and locations are diverse. In summary, this will be a good choice for comedy fans.
