About Time (2013)

The secret to a happy life isn't changing the past - it's fully appreciating the moments we're given. Richard Curtis' "About Time" stars Domhnall Gleeson as Tim Lake, a shy, awkward young man from Cornwall who, the morning after yet another disappointing New Year's party, learns a remarkable family secret from his father (Bill Nighy): the men in their family can travel back in time. There are rules - Tim can only revisit moments in his own life - but he decides to use his gift to find true love. After moving to London, he meets and falls for Mary (Rachel McAdams), a charming American, rewinding and replaying their moments together until everything is just right. But as life goes on, Tim discovers that even time travel can't protect him and his family from life's inevitable ups, downs and sorrows. From the writer of "Love Actually" and "Notting Hill," it's a warm, funny and deeply moving reminder that making the most of life may not require time travel at all. You may want to call your dad afterward.
