It's About Time!

Is it me or does it seem like it's been a while since a good rom-com came out?
Romantic comedies are my genre of film. It's not that I don't like other kinds -- it's just that I enjoy the "happily ever after" ones best. And because Hollywood has been lacking in the production of these types recently, I've been rotating my favorites at home.

 (In no particular order)
1. Under the Tuscan Sun 2. Morning Glory 3. My Best Friend's Wedding 4. Crazy Stupid Love  
5. Love Actually 6. The Proposal 7. Four Weddings and a Funeral 8. A Good Year 9. Leap Year  
10. The Wedding Date 11. Life As We Know It 12. The Holiday 13. Two Weeks Notice  
14. Letters to Juliet 15. It's Complicated 16. Notting Hill 17. Mean Girls 18. French Kiss  
19. Pitch Perfect 20. What's Your Number? 21. Wimbledon

I seriously can't remember the last time I really wanted to see a movie in theaters that was funny and light-hearted...

until I saw a coming attraction for one the other day.

It's called About Time.  In the simplest of terms, it is a British film about a guy (Domhnall Gleeson) who, on his 21st birthday, discovers he can time travel- a "power" that all men in his family acquire. Using this ability to his advantage, he tries to change his past to make for a better future. One of the changes he makes is having a girlfriend (Rachel McAdams). Through his time travel and experiences though, he is faced with a choice: should he continue to go back and change things in his life, or should he just live and let life happen.

The film is written and directed by Richard Curtis - creator of some of my favorite movies, including:

Notting Hill
Love Actually
Four Weddings and a Funeral

and has gotten pretty good reviews thus far (it's already been released in the UK).

It premieres November 1st - and I definitely plan on seeing it.

Here's the trailer if you're interested.

It's About Time (ha!) we had ourselves a good romantic comedy to look forward to seeing!
