The idea of travelling back in time to change a pivotal moment in your life gives them all something to think about. It will take them places they don’t expect.
The story is based on an actual newspaper ad.
Why I Like It:As always, fun, quirky little movies have a warm spot in my heart. Shot in four weeks on a budget of $750,000 this is a gem. Director Colin Treverrow lets the story take the lead and feels no need to try any directorial tricks along the way. That purity of effort pays off.
Why You Will Like It: Great characters that have depth and fun dialogue. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. It will take you to unexpected places as well. It’s all the things we want from movies.
Simple storytelling and solid performances deliver. The movie will surprise and charm you.
