Interesting, but for god sake, re-record the commentary without that slow, pitiful, whiny diction! It's so annoying. It's the content of the words, not the narrators ability to emote, that should impact.

About time is about a boy who can time travel. Extraordinary, don't you think, but not as extraordinary as having a father who lectures at university and owns a 3 million pound mansion, or young women working in publishing who can afford to rent city centre London apartments, or as extraordinary as an England that looks beautiful and benign in every single frame, or a struggling playwright of crap melodramas who lives in a £2 million town house. Richard Curtis has Out-Richard Curtised himself here. Absolutely appalling film full of simpering little twerps and the usual quota of quirky friends we are suppose to think are charming. Will appeal to moron American's with their chocolate box ideas of olde England and its charmingly awkward chaps. Couldn't crowbar in a disabled person to signal your right on cred this time Rich? Or perhaps you did? I only watched the first 20 minutes before doing a bit of time travel myself and hitting the fast, fast, fast forward button.

If I could find a word of 150 characters (the minimum required of a review) that meant "Appalling" I'd use it. Oh god, and i still need 50 odd more ****!

Boo hoo, my daddy/mummy didn't love me and messed up my life! SHAARAP! Boring self-indulgent psychobabble-drama. Take all the worst excesses of Woody Allen and Richard Curtis and you get a Frankenstein monster called Israel Horovitz.
