Product Description
A ROMANTIC DRAMA ABOUT A CHICAGO LIBRARIAN WITH A GENE THAT CAUSES HIM TO INVOLUNTARILY TIME TRAVEL, AND THE COMPLICATIONS IT CREATES FOR HIS MARRIAGE.
Amazon.com
A genuinely old-fashioned Hollywood romance with a science fiction angle, The Time Traveler's Wife stars Eric Bana as Henry DeTamble, a Chicago librarian with a genetic disorder causing him to travel through time involuntarily. The screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin (My Life), based on a novel by Audrey Niffenegger, incorporates some of those crazy paradoxes that are a part of time-travel fiction, but without beating one over the head. Take Henry's introduction to his future wife, Clare (Rachel McAdams), who tells him they've already met even though they haven't actually met. Brain teasers, however, are not what The Time Traveler's Wife is about. In a quite haunting way, the story really concerns what it means to know and love someone at every phase of his or her life. The fact that Henry's life, from Clare's perspective, is hardly linear--he can disappear and turn back up again at different ages--means that she must cherish what is essential about him. Which doesn't mean the couple is immune to periods of unhappiness, including a painful sequence about trying to bear a child--perhaps a child that might also carry the time-traveling gene. While there is nothing particularly exciting stylistically about The Time Traveler's Wife, in many ways it has the simple charms and clear emotions of a 1940s weepie assigned by a studio to one of its journeyman, contract directors. (The film was directed by Flightplan's Robert Schwentke.) A couple of supporting players, Arliss Howard (as Henry's father) and Ron Livingston (as Henry's friend), provide even more reason to recommend this movie as a satisfying experience. --Tom Keogh

 Time keeper's wife March 20, 2010
T. A. Hines (Atlantic City, NJ)
What a great movie. If you get passed the inconsistencies as far as time travel, and all time travel movies have inconsistencies, it is well-acted, romantic, funny, witty and sad. I highly recommend the movie and seller.
Most loved! March 19, 2010
Heather L. Arnold (Panama City, FL)
Absolutely beautiful movie, most worth the bluray upgrade! Makes you want to go get the book right away, hope you enjoy as much as I did! ;)

A reliable cast can't save this stinker from tedious and predictable sentimentality.
Bana and the Girls spend endless hours staring into each others eyes; everyone says "I love you" ALL THE TIME; there is no conflict, just Bana constantly re-explaining why he pops in and out of different times, while the people around him make the most obvious and banal (no pun intended) comments about his inconsitent appearance and behaviour; it's called the time traveller's WIFE, but we spend most of our time folowing HIM around.
The opportunities for something smart and romantic are all over the place -- all deftly ignored in favour of the most trite eighties MOW product. In the hands of Charlie Kaufman (or even Donald Kaufman) this might have been a minor masterpiece (at least on par with Benjamin Button), but now it is just a major mediocrity -- something to put on the shelf next to "Wicker Park".
Did I say P U? It's because they wouldn't let me write "F U".
PS -- I haven't read the book and I'm not going to.
PPS -- why doesn't Amazon have a tag labelled "crap"?

I watched other time traveler movies, but found this one refreshing. Can not imagine the love that they shared considering the events that surrouded them.
Fabulous film. March 18, 2010
Gore-Hound (melbourne, australia)
Lovely film, would have liked to see more Mature sex scenes though as Rachel McAdams has a good figure, thought it was well paced and well acted, nothing really happened but enjoyed it nonetheless.
