About time review

I really enjoyed About time as it veered away from the classic sci fi theme whenever time travel is involved.  This film involved time travel but in a highly romantic and comedic film, which is very different from other films that contain time travel.  In the film it starts as an interesting concept where he can just redo the little mess-ups in his life.  But the genius introduction of the consequence of his time travel, choosing between his wife and his father is what makes the film so intriguing and complex.  Also the constant spins of his time travel changing the gender of his baby and other problems, leads to an uplifting idea that you almost have to let everything happen naturally.  It also has a very happy ending which is more appealing, with the sentimental moments where he can visit his dad.  Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this film, as similarly to looper it introduces the idea of time travel that we can never experience, and shows us an idea of ‘doing-over’ situations, which is comedic and intriguing.
