Short Movie Review: About Time

This romantic comedy cum science fiction draws on parallels with "The Butterfly Effect" albeit in a much more subtle way. Directed by Richard Curtis who is known for "Love Actually", the movie is not designed as a science fiction flick, but rather as one which teaches you a lesson or two about living your life to its fullest. The film depicts a family whose male members can travel back in time although with some tough conditions and choices which they have to make. A slice of life film which never overstays its welcome but touches the right cords of your hearts. The film teaches how to appreciate the joy of small things in life and loving your family.

Rating: ****
