Review of About Time

I thoroughly enjoyed this rom-com with a touch of sci-fi. The cast is amazing and have really good chemisty together. With a cast that includes Rachel McAdams, Domhnall Gleeson, Bill Nighy, Margot Robbie it ought to be good. It even has cameos from Richard E. Grant and Richard Griffiths in his last role. The characters are eccentric and colorful such as Uncle D and Kit Kat. The story is bittersweet and keeps you interested from start to finish. Some moments are rather depressing while others are extremely uplifting. This is the first movie where I actually like Bill Nighy as I usually think he is a rather dry and boring actor. This movie has so much heart in it I find that it could be hard for anyone to just downright hate it. I love the touching family scenes especially with the Dad and the main character. The ending is bittersweet and it will probably have several people in tears by the end. It's sort of a father/son movie, but I would lean more toward a date movie with your girlfriend or wife. Either way would work in my opinion.
