1.  Provide a 2-3 sentence overview of the plot.  (No spoilers!)
About Time, this film is about funny enough time...A guy (Tim) at a certain age can travel back in time and change things that have happened to him in the past like meeting the love of his life (Mary).

2.  What was your overall emotional response to the film? Why?

It was mostly a chick flick film where the element of romance was a major factor along with the relationship of this guy and his father. I felt the movie a bit slow and slightly predictable. It was predictable because of the chick flick element and one of the leading ladies has been in a chick flick before and quite often some actors are type casted and this was one of those movies for that. 

3.  What did you think of the lead character and why? 

Was there a particular incident in the film or thing that they did that made you feel this way? I liked him in the beginning of the film but then found him the week character he wasn't really actively assertive as I would of liked. So he became annoying even though he laid out humor at moments I was still engaged because he I wanted him to be assertive.

4.  Who was your favorite character (if not the lead) and why? Was there a particular incident in the film or thing that they did that made you feel this way?

I liked Rachel McAdams...but mainly because I had seen her on other films such as 'The Notebook and Time Travelers Wife' so I liked seeing her again in this film, she played a very similar role in both films so it was a bit of a type cast.

5.  Were there any moments that engaged you the most, and why?

There was a romantic moment that I engaged with when the main character when Tim just met Mary and asked to have her number and she gave it to him and he put it in his phone. he then said. "I thought this phone was old, but suddenly it my most prize possession" It's a very romantic thing to say. I was engaged but the moment happening because as a woman you want something like that said about you.

6.  Were there any moments in which you started to lose interest or disengaged from the film? Why do you think this was the case?

The movie was too long and you got the idea and message that was given half way through the film. It dragged out and a bit predictable.


7.  What were the overall strengths and weaknesses of the film?

A strength of the film was Rachel McAdams the Weakness was it went on for to long it was slow and very predictable. A classic chick flick that was boring and had a few moments were it was sweet a little funny and then alot of talking.
