Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat--the time traveling element makes no sense and defies all logic, which puts it on par with nearly all time traveling movies. This only annoys me when the plot of a film is scientific based, and they are making a real effort to make sense, but fail.
In About Time, the jump backs are merely a story device, so I didn’t allow my mind to get bogged down in plot holes. The characters and relationships are all very sweet. It’s an upbeat ride for the most part. The ending is a little sad, but satisfying. It made me miss my dad.
