Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Carol Cyr I enjoyed this movie, although I admit all the different time-travel threads had me a bit confused. Chris O'Dowd was charming as usual, and the other leads did well too. This is going to sound a bit nit- picky, but one thing that annoyed me was the British words that the American character kept using:1. An American is never going to call a closet a "cupboard", no matter how many times she's read Harry Potter. 2. She would also never say "quite dull" (she would say "really boring"). 3. We rarely ever, unless we're film critics, use the word "film" to mean a movie. 4. Also, although I love the word "sorted" as the Brits use it (it just has such a sense of finality and taken-care-of-ness to it), Americans never use it that way. If something is sorted, it means a bunch of papers or something that have been cataloged into different categories or piles or something - you know, SORTED.I just wish the producers had gotten an American to look over the American's dialog just once to weed out these distracting British- isms. Anyway, stupid points but they took me out of the world of the movie momentarily. Be sure to watch the entire credits - there's something right after them to see.
bowmanblue Ignoring Anna Faris' part in 'Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel' it's basically fair to say that the film was made with no major stars and even less of a budget. To claim that it's predictable may be a little unfair, but it probably won't surprise you too much. But that's not to say that it's not worth watching.Three British losers go to the pub and inadvertently get stuck in a time loop that will – no doubt – destroy life on the planet unless it's fixed. And, if you've seen the front cover, you may have read the tagline 'Shaun of the Dead meets Dr Who.' Yes, that's about it. I could almost leave the review there. That's pretty much all you need to know about it. It has the 'low budget' feel of an old (yes, not even the recent post-Christopher Eccelston) Dr Who interwoven with the lovable rogue kind of lads we rooted for in Shaun's zombie rom-com.In short, it relies on script over anything else. And the script isn't that bad. I've watched it twice now and, although nothing in it really made me laugh for a long time, there are enough chuckles in the banter between the three guys to make it worth watching. Plus if you're a fellow nerd (that's me, too – although the film points out that the 'n-word' is a way of keep us 'imagineers' down!) you'll probably get the multiple references to numerous science fiction films (Aliens and Flash Gordon being the two most notably ones).The acting is what you'd expect from three likable losers, although the 'love plot' when Anna Faris comes into it seems a little forced.Overall, if you like sci-fi, if you like script-driven humour over special effects and are forgiving on the 'made-for-TV' feel to the movie, then give it a go. It's the definition of 'cheap and cheerful' and it should just raise enough smiles to make it worth your while.
James Barker I didn't know what to expect when watching this, I read the two sentences of info at the top of the IMDb page and thought 'meh, why not'.Turns out it's actually a great little film! A lot of people have described it as Shaun of the Dead meets Doctor Who, which I'd say is quite accurate, possibly with a little touch of Memento added (In a good way), but if you haven't seen it don't assume it to be exactly that. I found this film creative in a way that a lot of films lack, it's constantly going in a different direction, and skillfully giving you plenty to keep you guessing, but not enough to make it obvious as to what's going on. There are few films that actually draw me into the plot enough to actually make me want to guess how the film will end, which I think is part of what makes this film special. I doubt this film will ever go down in history as a work of notable artistic merit, because personally I wouldn't say it deserves that title, however if you want to watch a lighthearted film that's got a great plot, you'll love this. The kind of film you'd recommend your mates when it pops into your head down the pub, sort of like I'm recommending it to you now :)
hitman596 There are very few movies on time travel and very few which are worth watching among them,if you are into sci-fi you will really really like this movie!,you do not have to be exceptionally clever(but not exceptionally dumb) to understand this movie Plot:7.5/10Funny?: Yes ,some scenes will give you a good laughWhat's different about it: The plot keeps you interested in the movie until the end..this the movie does without any great special effects and nudity :D..Worth Watching?:yes!
