Stillman is distraught after his girlfriend Debbie decides to break up with him. A genius physics student, he perfects a time travel device. He introduces it to his best friend Evan and tells of his plan to travel back to what he has identified as the biggest problem spots in the two years he was with Debbie and fix the issues. He and Evan go back and inhabit their own bodies during these points in time as Stillman makes multiple attempts to change events for the better.
Time Freak does at least explore modern relationships provocatively and honestly. Its ultimate message about how there's no "quick fix" for a failing relationship.
Things get more substantial during the second half where Andrew Bowler expands out beyond making merely a romantic comedy and features some more imaginative scenes .The latter sections abandon the romantic aspect and have an interesting plot about how Asa Butterfield has edited the timelime to remove all conflict, meaning that Sophie Turner feels bored and aimless with her domesticated life. The final scenes of the film are ones where the romantic element eventually clicks into place quite nicely.
