So romantic! I took the boyfriend who liked it, but thought certain parts didn't make sense. Won't tell you those because it would give away plot points. I am one of the few people who saw the movie without having read the book first. Book may well be better than the movie, but I wouldn't be able to tell you. That makes me a Time Traveler's virgin.
The story centres around Henry and Clare. Henry is a the Time Traveller. He visits Clare regularly from the time that she is a little girl and tells her about their life together. When Clare first meets Henry in a library, she can barely contain herself. They eventually get married. The movie shows Henry Time Travellng - funniest for me was when an older version of Henry turned up to his own wedding when younger Henry time travelled out of the situation (not intentionally - he cannot control when he time travels although alcohol makes it more likely he will travel).
Clare for the most part is very good natured about the time travelling and it amazes me how many people they let into the secret, but if you want to enjoy the movie then you need to suspend belief anyway.
Rachel McAdams is brilliant. She has such a bright, sunny face and I have loved her since the Notebook (makes me cry everytime I see it). Eric Bana puts in a more reserved performance as Henry, but he is no less sexy nor romantic for it.
As I frequently say, I love a good chick flick and for me this is the most romantic movie I have seen in a long time and I cannot wait to read the book.
I don't know how people who have read the book will take to the movie because I know people really, really love the book.
If you haven't read the book, see it. If you have read the book, give the movie a chance.
