What if you could take all the awkwardness out of finding a soulmate? That's the superficial premise of
About Time, which skirts the bumbling and weirdly long pauses of first dates with time travel. Simple as that... or is it?
Domhnall Gleeson plays a man from a gifted family with the power to jump back in time simply by going into a dark place and closing his eyes, a power of great benefit when he tries to woo the girl of his dreams played by
Rachel McAdams. (It's like
Groundhog Day only the main character starts out as a shy Brit instead of a selfish dick.) Naturally, time travel is not without its consequences, and each time he jumps back in order to improve his moves, he risks erasing some of his best memories.
