Witty enjoyable romantic Comedy
Review date: 2008-09-20 Rating: 10 out of 10
This is a really enjoyable witty Romantic Comedy. All the players give a very good performance. Special mention must go to Douglas Henshall who gives a great performance as Victor, a failing actor whose life falls apart after losing his girlfriend because he confessed to cheating on her. After a magical intervention by a very unlikely Spanish Refuse collector and his friend, Victor gets the chance to go back in time and stop his confession. However getting back his girl is one thing, keeping her is an entirely new ball game and we follow his efforts to stop fate, who seems determined to throw a spanner in the works at every opportunity.

Unforgettable film
Review date: 2007-12-17 Rating: 10 out of 10
This is a brilliant film, not to be confused with the 2004 film of the same title with Jennifer Love Hewitt (which I also enjoyed).
Ths film triggers all sorts of emotions and is definately understated. The actors deserve far more credit than its current worth.
ignore the review from the lady from Cambridge, England!
Review date: 2004-11-13 Rating: 10 out of 10
This is a fantastic film. Clearly the person from Cambridge who rented this movie for her 'girly night in' is clearly only a girl and doesn't have the mental or intellectual capacity to understand such a film. The many twists and turns this film takes is wonderful, weird and very unexpected, the film is enhanced ten-fold with it's cut-throat soundtrack and superb acting from the very underrated Douglas Henshall. Look out for one of Penelope Cruz's first appearances in the 'big time', she's an absolute stunner! This film is a must-see and will leave you feeling like you've been through 10 relationships, gone back in time and relived your life a zillion times, twice been drunk at the Notting Hill carnival and also taken a ride on a garbage truck with a couple of scary Italian dustmen! Enjoy!
bad film.

rented this film for a girls night in and was geniunely surprised at just how bad it was. admittedly we did not watch it the whole way through and therefore there is a tiny possibility that we missed the point of the film but to be honest i couldn't have sat through another minute. if you can be bothered to sit through the whole film be my guest but i'll give it a miss.
excellent, and a lesson to learn, too

You must watch it to understand.
Marketed as a juvenile, humorous, comedy B movie, i think it's really A grade and makes a lot of sense.
How often have you wished to be back in time to fix/adjust your mistakes?
Well, the main charachter is given an opportunity, but is it that simple?
Or rather isn't there a deeper meaning for "what is meant to be"?
Which will eventually be against our whishes?
Some dialogues/scenes are state of the art.
