bill nighy’s performance here is heart shattering. immaculate acting

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. 🙂

This is one of my favorite movies of all time.

"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

Oh, I LOVE this one! I even bought the soundtrack...

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"

This and Time Traveller's Wife are my 2 favourite movies. Cannot wait to watch it with you.

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.

So glad to see this movie pop up! Crushes me every time

This movie is a masterpiece

Toni is going to love this movie!

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...

Yeah, Toni is going to love this one! 🙂

Thank you ❤

1 of my all time favs and so so SO underrated , i love the dad in this movie so much

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.

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.

Wish more people did this one lol

*The Age of Adaline* [2015] could be an addition to your to-do list.

❤❤❤ 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 !!❤❤❤

Terrific movie. Understated and touching.

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.

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.

just wanted to say i love u guys ❤

I love this film especially as I'm Cornish

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.

Never seen this one. Looks pretty good.

Makes me want to get in a closet and go back to see it when it came out.

This is such an underrated movie! Well done with the reactions!

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 watch this movie yesterday and i really love it ❤

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.

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’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.

One of my favs!

I think David is confusing About Time with the film In Time which was more action.

Hurricane? Thats just a Tuesday in England

👍

Never seen/heard of this one either. Ex Machina is excellent.

can't say my family ever recovered from my mother's death.

Toni you would love Grumpy Old Men, you both would actually. Comedy, love story and friendship

I love this movie, but i never see any reactions to it.

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

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.

😂

You should watch The Time Traveler's Wife 2009..a different take on time travel..also starring Rachel McAdams..

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.

Davy Jones was much kinder in this movie!!

more like this please. some of these smaller budget films dont get the respect they deserve great, sincere, and honest reaction.😂

If you liked "About Time", then you'll like "The Age of Adaline" (2015) Very different, but very much the same.

About time a reactor discovered this gem of a movie

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!
