The Time Traveler's Wife

Directed by: Robert Schwentke

Starring: Eric Bana, Rachel McAdams, Ron Livingston, Jane McLean

Running Time: 1h 47min

What with the multiple instances of the drive-in reel overheating and stopping the film, along with the movie's own stops and starts and bouts of inconsistency, The Time Traveler's Wife made me feel like I was jumping through time, lost, confused, bewildered, uninterested, perplexed and indifferent. For a movie to make claims for a love that transcends space and time, there needs to be some reason for this couple to actually love each other. Sadly, there is none, and there is little chemistry for the audience to care for. In fact, the whole premise that Bana's character visits McAdams as a young child carries with it a creepy pedophilia premise that i don't want to explore. Not only is it downright unsettling, it's simply boring.

Grade: D+
