A wonderful film, with great acting, good chemistry, a clever script, and an unusual theme involving time travel alongside a feel-good romantic comedy. It manages to combine some humour, quite a bit of poignancy, and some lessons in living.
We were totally drawn into the story, and had no problem suspending belief (and ignoring the inevitable plot holes) while watching. Definitely recommended if you like this kind of thing.
There's a lot of implied nudity and intimacy, albeit without anything too overt, and quite a bit of 'strong' language, so I'd have rated it 15 rather than 12.
Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) es un joven de 21 años que descubre que puede viajar en el tiempo. Su padre (Bill Nighy) le cuenta que todos los hombres de la familia han tenido desde siempre ese don, el de regresar en el tiempo a un momento determinado, una y otra vez, hasta conseguir hacer "lo correcto". Así pues, Tim decide volver al pasado a intentar conquistar a Mary (Rachel McAdams), la chica de sus sueños. (Reseña tomada de FILMAFFINITY)

James: Later on I may tell you about Tim's many failings as a man and as a table tennis player. But, important first is to say the one big thing. I've only loved three men in my life. My dad was a frosty bugger so that only leaves dear Uncle Desmond, B.B. King, obviously, and this young man here. I'd only give one piece of advice to anyone marrying. We're all quite similar in the end. We all get old and tell the same tales too many times. But try and marry someone kind. And this is a kind man with a good heart. I'm not particularly proud of many things in my life, but I am very proud to be the father of my son.
Tim: So, what do you do? Mary: I'm a reader at a publisher. Tim: No! You read for a living? Mary: Yes. That's it, I read. Tim: Oh, that's so great. It's like someone asking, "What do you do for a living?" "Well, I breathe. I'm a breather. I get paid for breathing."
Tim: [voiceover] And so he told me his secret formula for happiness. Part one of the two-part plan was that I should just get on with ordinary life, living it day by day, like anyone else. But then came part two of Dad's plan. He told me to live every day again almost exactly the same. The first time with all the tensions and worries that stop us noticing how sweet the world can be, but the second time noticing. Okay, Dad. Let's give it a go.
Kit Kat: Maybe, just maybe, I'm the faller. Every family has someone who falls, who doesn't make the grade, who stumbles, who life trips up. Maybe I'm our faller.
Mary: I'm going to go into the bedroom and put on my new pajamas, and in a minute you can come in and take them off.
Mary: I absolutely love her! In fact, I almost wore one of her dresses here tonight. You?
Tim: No, no. Her clothes look terrible on me.
Mum: I am fucking furious. I am so uninterested in a life without your father.
Mum: It's very bad for a girl to be too pretty. It stops her developing a sense of humor. Or a personality.
Mary: So not such a bad day after all?
Tim: No. It was pretty good, really. Very good day, actually, as it turns out.
Mary: Well, that's a relief. Because it had been a very bad day, I thought I might have had to have had sex with you to make up for it. Goodnight.
Tim: It was a very, very bad day. It went very badly. I got fired from my job. And then I killed a man.
Harry: I was actually having the first good idea I've had for a decade when you rang on the doorbell. But now it's gone. You little shit.
