About Time

— I thought this was sort of fun, had a fine message, and moved along at a good clip. “About Time” (DVD) is pretty tame time-travelling, not the usual romping from decade to decade travel, and it is in the context of a comedy about self-discovery. Pleasant characters, decent-enough acting, and a focus on the present instead of changing the past to help the future. With a domestic gross of just over $15 million, most people liked this less than I did. I’d suggest checking it out.
