About Time

"We’ve all been to Richard Curtis World before: that idealised Middle England where rich people with huge houses and eccentric uncles play tennis on cliff-tops and laugh at rain. He’s as much a lifestyle brand as a filmmaker, and how much you enjoy his last work (he says) as writer/director depends on your tolerance for syrupy poshness."

"Gleeson and McAdams have a radiant, believable chemistry that keeps the film aloft, while the other actors glide through effortlessly ..."

"Ditching the trademark forced theatrics, About Time finds Richard Curtis in more reflective mood. Don't expect a life-changer, but it's a pleasant shift of pace."

"Will [Curtis] please fans as much as it irritates detractors."

"Curtis has managed to achieve the impossible. Specifically: he has gone back to 1993 and remade Groundhog Day with a ginger Hugh Grant."

"There are just enough laugh-out-loud moments here to excuse the lurches into shameless, tear-jerking sentimentality."

"Smart and sweet, funny and genuinely moving. Should probably come with a 'there's something in my eye' warning."
