i really do not understand what so good about this movie or the book . the guy travel through time . what for . why . do it add anything to his character . do he do anything special while travel . he spoil the surprise of miracle in life to his wife and his daughter . he live absolutely worthless life . i would understand if he be some sort of hero . he never work and never help anyone and cheat in the lottery . and he die a a jerk and by mistake . all his life be just a huge mistake . i think an author endow a protagonist with some special ability for a reason . there no reason behind henry ability to travel through time . he could as well have an elephant ear and we would have a story about man with elephant ear wife . why not . very bad movie .
