a sci fi time travel story or a romantic drama play out across many time shift . the film never make up it mind . and and a a result and be a failure . time travel bit be use a a convenience for a slightly different take on a romantic drama . every time there be a bit which be awkward and yahoo a bit of explanation ( slow the film down ) or just bus along and hope the audience will go for the goo ( i couldn not get back for a fortnight and so i miss xmas and or i be travel more because of the drug i be take . ) . it may be a great novel i haven not read it but the film be contrive why bother at all with the time travel nonsense when you want to make a four hankie woman weepie . sorry and but eric bana do not cut the mustard a a romantic lead and but he do his naked david banner bit while the support cast apparently be important and but be barely use while issue of loss and responsibility for that loss and responsibility for other feeling be graze over . and plot non sequiturs be babble about at high speed in case anyone really start think about what go on ( the hypothermia leg incident . what be that . i haven not read the novel . ) some nice touch here and there and even if rachel mcadams appear to be reprise her role from the notebook and and the performance of the daughter be quite delightful and and i might say and far more interesting than the grown ups . i should have cry more but frankly this film have nowhere really to go for most of it run length it pass a rainy morning .
