Watchable film
This is an alright film to watch but it's more of a rent it once watch it and thats about it.

Film v. Book
As a stand alone film you might find it worth watching. If you've read the book you are more likely to find the film a disappointment. My partner, who had not read the book, gave up half way through and went to bed saying it was just the same thing all the time - some guy disappearing and then reappearing.

I didn't expect a word by word reproduction, but too much of the original story was missing, for me.

I bought the Blu Ray version thinking there would be lots of worthwhile extras. Even with my player connected to the Web I couldn't find much apart from the film itself so I wished I'd saved my money and got the cheaper DVD version. If you've got a half decent TV and player that gives you good sound and vision I reckon you would be better off doing that - if you end up buying it.


Good Film
After reading the book, I was really looking forward to the film, as I wondered how they would reproduce the complicated storyline in a film.
Generally they did very well, but I thought the story wasn't stuck to in a couple of parts which made it a little less 'as I would have liked it'.
That said, it was still an enjoyable film, and the rest of my family #who hadn't read the book# thought it was good.


Beautifully Edited
I read this book a couple of years ago on release, although a strange concept the story has always stayed with me - the film edit is as moving and beautifully written as the book - Loved It!!

The Time Traveler's Wife
Read the book and loved it. Therefore did not expect much from film. Certainly changes were made but the essence of the book remained. Acting was beautiful and poignant. I had been told it was hard to follow, however I did not find this at all. I cried, daughter cried and son got something in his eye! Both are now fighting to borrow the book!
