Good concept. The acting is fine. BUT, there are some issues.
For one, both leads are miscast. The male lead here needs to be charming or funny, and while he seems like a fine actor, he's not that charming or that funny. I also don't understand why they felt like Rachel McAdams was a good casting choice. There's not enough background information about her character, and to put it mildly, there is absolutely NO chemistry between the two leads in the film.
THe film reminded me of "Mr. Nobody" - only it wasn't nearly as good.
I like the point of the film - which is that it's actually better to appreciate the less-than-perfect moments of your life, have no regrets, but just takes so long to get to this. It's spoonfed to the audience in the last 5 minutes like the film did a bad job of expressing it, AND IT DID! I also didn't care for some of 'the rules of time travel' which seemed like they were written on the fly.
I went in with high expectations, but that's not the only reason that this fell flat. 7.8? THis was no better than the slightly above-average "Delivery Man" that I also watched last night.
THe bottom-line is that I just didn't find anything interesting about these characters - other than the ever-so-obvious ability to travel in time. I'd probably skip it.
63/100
