If anyone told you that you had the unbelievable ability to travel back in time, you'd probably use it for getting successful, changing the course of events right? Well, when Tim Lake gets to know about the family powers of time traveling he decides to use it to find love.
Our story begins with the New Year's Eve party at Tim's place. The party goes on as boring as it ever is for Tim and finally as the clock strikes twelve, he neglects sharing a kiss with his dance partner later rebuking himself over it. The next day, after a bit of a hangover, his father has a small chat with him. As he recently turned twenty one it was customary to let every man of the Lake family know that he was born for travelling back in time. With simple, clear cut rules of finding a closed, dark place, balling up your fists and closing your eyes thinking of a particular incident or event you were a part of, Tim goes off to experiment it, thinking it was just a joke. But as he enters his wardrobe and does as instructed, he finds himself back in the same clothes as the previous night's party and undoes the one mistake he made that night. After a long talk with his dad in the present, he decides to use it to find love.
Within a week he moves to London and lives with his father's friend, a play writer. He starts going to law school and things get as monotonous as a rainy day in London. One day, he and his friend decide to shake things up and go for dinner to a fancy restaurant where everything is eaten in complete darkness. There, Tim finds a charming girl (at least she sounds charming then), Mary and is instantly interested in her. Once the dinner was done, he waited for her and when she came face to face with him, he was hit hard by the four letters he was searching for, love. He took her number and came back to his dingy apartment to hear his play writer moan about how a character forgot his lines, turning the play into a catastrophe. Tim tries to make things right for him by going back in time and helping the actors. Later as he searches for Mary's number, it's gone because in actuality, he was never there at the dinner, so he never met her!
On a race against time, he tries to search for her and pick small details of her interests to see if he can find her somewhere. The question is, will he find her or will he be lost forever in the circle of time traveling?
A beautiful, witty and humours movie with the subtle features of Britain etched across, this movie is a slow moving, yet lightning paced journey. Tim and his travels make you wonder about the ideas of time travel and the endless possibilities if you ever got that ability. A definite must watch from me.
