About Time: Review

It's about time I wrote another film review...
Terrible puns aside, I saw an awesome film last night.
Indie, British rom com "About Time" is a quirky tale of love and time travel. Though it's advertised more like a romantic comedy, a nice surprise was the clear focus on a sweet father and son relationship that left the heart trembling. I really enjoyed the film. It felt very sweet and very natural. So many films today area created with one prime directive: to get people in cinema seats and to take as much money from the film as possible. About Time felt more like a labour of love, something that was created because someone wanted to create it. I found the film to be sweet, poignant and enjoyable. It didn't have the same rigid plot structure that so many films follow. It was a lot of fun. It may bring forth tears, laughs and smiles from the audience. In traditional Richard Curtis fashion this film may be a little to 'sweet' for some, but rom com and light-hearted comedy fans will certainly enjoy.
