That the actors can pull off such Oprah-friendly, sci-fi-inflected sap and keep straight faces is the most fantastic thing about this loopy love story. Nov 18, 2011 | Rating: 2/5

While the script could have done more to exploit Bana's sense of humour, it does profit from his directness. There are no false heroics. Nov 5, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

I'm over the moon about this movie, which smooths out the psychological dissonances in Audrey Niffenegger's fine novel but is still an emotional workout. Aug 17, 2009 | Full Review…

But I should say, if you take out the part about the dumb premise, the acting is quite good--it almost makes you forget you're watching the big screen version of the tv show "Quantum Leap." Sep 11, 2017 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

As it stands, The Time Traveler's Wife is decent evening's entertainment with an intriguing enough premise and some strong heart tugging to keep the women happy and the men from getting too bored. Mar 21, 2011 | Rating: 6.5/10 | Full Review…

It's beautifully crafted and endearingly old-fashioned all the way; an alluring soap opera for those who like to dive into the deep end of the syrup pool. Jun 2, 2010 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…
