It was ABOUT TIME you guys watched this wonderful movie! 😃 Strangely enough, almost no one has reacted to it. This baffles me. 🤔 My wife and I consider its main song, "How Long Will I Love You?", OUR song. 🙂
"We're all traveling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride." Fun Fact: In South Korea, more than 3 million people watched the movie, which made it a surprise hit there. Bibliophile Enthusiast Fact: The book Bill Nighy's character reads out to Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) near the end of the film is Great Expectations (1860) by Charles Dickens, chapter four. 4 Art Imitates Life Fact: The iconic scene where Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) and Mary (Rachel McAdams) have their first date in the dark is inspired by a real-life experience of the film's director, Richard Curtis. 5 Deep Cut Reference Fact: Bill Nighy's line to Domhnall Gleeson "You can't kill Hitler or shag Helen of Troy" is real fun for movie aficionados for at least two reasons. First, Bill Nighy played General Friedrich Olbricht in Valkyrie (2008), which is a dramatization of the assassination attempt on Hitler. Second, Brendan Gleeson (father of Domhnall) played Menelaus the King of Sparta and the husband to Helen of Troy in Troy (2004). 11 Casting Notes Fact: This is one of four movies in which Rachel McAdams stars as the love interest of a time traveler. The previous ones were The Time Traveler's Wife (2009), in which she played the titular wife to Eric Bana's character and Midnight In Paris (2011), in which she played the fiancée of Owen Wilson's character. She also stars in Doctor Strange (2016), in which she plays a time manipulating doctor's love interest. In none of these movies does McAdams's character get to participate in time-travel herself. 11
as a father of three boys, i cry every time without fail at the ping pong scene when he tells his dad the baby is almost due and it's their last time together 😭 "My son" "My dad"
The scene where he spends time with his dad for the very last time hits me so hard, if I had these powers I would go back and see my grandma all the time as well.
This is one of my all-time favourite movies! It is so underrated and so many people have never heard of it, it baffles me. I have a son and my own father died of cancer, so the father-son relationship depicted, and the ending of this movie just crushes me every single time.
Always liked this movie. It ends up.being about more than a love story. It's about appreciating what you have, so in a sense similar to It's a Wonderful Life. Not sure if those restaurants exist where you eat in the dark but I would love to do that.
Great selection. Can't wait! I hope you try the other flicks by the same screenwriter, the phenomenal Richard Curtis. If it's not enough that he co-created Mr Bean(!), he also gifted us gems like Four Weddings And A Funeral, which is top of the list of what I'd love for you to watch (which went on to be the highest grossing British flick at that time), Notting Hill, Bridget Jones's' Diary (adapted from a book but even the author gives him more praise), Love Actually...
❤❤❤ It !! Most because of I met & knew actress Lisa Eichorn( plays Kate's Mom in this movie..My Mom & I worked at a Boscov' Dept store...her Mom & mine were BFF's... && I got to meet an AWESOME Actor before I knew who he was...Alan Rickman,he was Lisa's Mentor,...his recommendation got her into RADA, Royal Acadamy of Dramatic Arts when she was in the UK...met him at her Mom's house when he showed up after a screening of movie YANKS..she was a Big character..played Ricard Gere's Love interest ...all I remember I got to talk to a Cool British Guy about theater & Shakespeare stuff in her Mom's kitchen....Had NO Idea who he was or how Big he'd become !! LOL) THANKS for Blast from the Past you gave Me !! Been Subscriber awhile && LOVE You Guys !!!! ROCK ON !!❤❤❤
I knew Toni was going to enjoy and have an emotional reaction to this. It’s an often forgotten or ignored gem. IMHO miss sold as a Rom-Com, when its more a homage to Parenthood and a father-son Drama. Beautiful movie.
It may be because I saw it first, but this just makes me want to watch "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" (2006). It was a fabulous rom-com about a teenage girl that discovers she can literally "leap" through time and change the past (don't worry, she can't go very far back). It's kinda between this movie and Eternal Sunshine. I like characters figuring things out, which "About Time" only partly does.
6:10 I see exactly what she is thinking. If that was the case and he couldn't come back, his family in the present wouldn't see him again and time would move forward, and he would be forever in the past. Of course he can come back, but still, I like how she thinks.
The first thing I realized when imagining time travel many years back was how easily you'd affect the future, changing which sperm fertilized an egg being so easy. Anyway, I don't remember hearing of this one, either. It only did $15 million US, but $87 worldwide.
I’ve seen this movie I guess advertised as the word, on like Netflix or wherever. I knew it was Rachel McAdams, but I never gave it the time of day. That’s actually really interesting.
Rachel McAdams made two other time travel movies, THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE and MIDNIGHT IN PARIS. Both are of the same calibre as this one. And you should enjoy both about as much as this one, too. One however is geared more towards Toni's apparent taste while the other contains a very interesting insight using time travel to demonstrate it. I won't say which is which.
As someone suggested try 'Midnight in Paris' Rachel McAdam's in that too but in a different role, not as moving perhaps but very funny, a Woody Allen film...and try another Richard Curtis movie ''4 Weddings and a Funeral' which is a classic movie, very funny and moving, Hugh Grant's in that..
I had forgotten what a good movie this is, i had watched it a few yrs ago. I know of a couple of good but very sad movies so not sure if Toni would wanna watch those.
I wonder if SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED will be watched? It's a slightly older film but soooo terrific and also about a time-traveling device. Usually cast as a comedy - and it's not a drama per se - but it's more of a wonderment film. "I wonder - ?" Well - safety's not guaranteed!
I’d like to request Ladyhawke (1985), starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Rutger Hauer, and Matthew Broderick. It’s got everything: comedy, drama, action, romance, fantasy/magic… It’s really a very unique movie. I haven’t seen anyone react to it, so far.
No, it didn't work for me. I don't warm to geeks, if you don't have manly men, at least have a guy with confidence and good humour. Can't stand guys in movies afraid to approach girls, that's too much like real life! We want to see confident guys!
bill nighy’s performance here is heart shattering. immaculate acting

Totally agree. Love this movie so so much !
This is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Thanks Gator! We'll have to add those others to the list!
You're welcome. 😁
However I did recommend other movies and I would love for you to tackle them as well.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Big Richard Curtis fan here, I loved your fun facts.
And McAdams really shines in Time Traveller's Wife.
This movie is so beautiful, i love it, love too Rachel Mcadams
as a father of three boys, i cry every time without fail at the ping pong scene when he tells his dad the baby is almost due and it's their last time together 😭 "My son" "My dad"
Oh, I LOVE this one! I even bought the soundtrack...
The scene where he spends time with his dad for the very last time hits me so hard, if I had these powers I would go back and see my grandma all the time as well.
This and Time Traveller's Wife are my 2 favourite movies. Cannot wait to watch it with you.
So glad to see this movie pop up! Crushes me every time
Thank you so much!! This was a very impactful movie that we hope starts showing up more on RUclips!
This movie is a masterpiece
This is one of my all-time favourite movies! It is so underrated and so many people have never heard of it, it baffles me. I have a son and my own father died of cancer, so the father-son relationship depicted, and the ending of this movie just crushes me every single time.
Wish more people did this one lol
So do we! This is definitely a hidden gem!
Toni is going to love this movie!

That would be something interesting to try! 😊

He also gave us the Blackadder series with Rowan Atkinson
With as much as we both enjoyed this one, I'm sure we'll be checking out more from this director and these actors. 😃
Yeah, Toni is going to love this one! 🙂
Terrific movie. Understated and touching.
❤❤❤ It !!

I knew you'd love this one Toni. It's one of my most favorite movies. Glad I was able to watch with y'all.
1 of my all time favs and so so SO underrated , i love the dad in this movie so much
I love this film especially as I'm Cornish
This was a great movie! :)
*The Age of Adaline* [2015] could be an addition to your to-do list.
Also an older movie in this range is "Somewhere in Time" (1980)
Has Christopher Reeve as the lead and Jane Seymour.
I knew Toni was going to enjoy and have an emotional reaction to this. It’s an often forgotten or ignored gem. IMHO miss sold as a Rom-Com, when its more a homage to Parenthood and a father-son Drama. Beautiful movie.
just wanted to say i love u guys ❤
Thank you!!
i watch this movie yesterday and i really love it ❤
One of my favs!
This movie is so amazing

It's kinda between this movie and Eternal Sunshine. I like characters figuring things out, which "About Time" only partly does.
Never seen this one. Looks pretty good.
We both highly recommend it!
Makes me want to get in a closet and go back to see it when it came out.
👍
Hurricane? Thats just a Tuesday in England
😂

I'm not sure why this isn't more popular!
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
I’ve seen this movie I guess advertised as the word, on like Netflix or wherever. I knew it was Rachel McAdams, but I never gave it the time of day. That’s actually really interesting.
more like this please. some of these smaller budget films dont get the respect they deserve great, sincere, and honest reaction.😂
This is such an underrated movie! Well done with the reactions!
Never seen/heard of this one either. Ex Machina is excellent.
I love this movie, but i never see any reactions to it.
I'm not sure why more people don't react to it but I wish they would. It's a great movie! -David
Toni you would love Grumpy Old Men, you both would actually. Comedy, love story and friendship
You should watch The Time Traveler's Wife 2009..a different take on time travel..also starring Rachel McAdams..
Thanks!
😂
About time a reactor discovered this gem of a movie
can't say my family ever recovered from my mother's death.
We're so sorry for your loss. 😢
oh, it was 17 years ago@@popculturallychallenged

BTW if you want a Rom-Com that is absolutely Groundhog Day. ‘Palm Springs’. Hilarious

If you liked "About Time", then you'll like "The Age of Adaline" (2015)
Very different, but very much the same.
I had forgotten what a good movie this is, i had watched it a few yrs ago.

Davy Jones was much kinder in this movie!!
