A whimsical if predictable time-travel fable marred by a willful single-mindedness.

The film's evil, treasonous message is that the wall of separation between church and state is something that America could do without.

Time Changer may not be the most memorable cinema session but its profound self-evaluation message about our fragile existence and the absence of spiritual guidance should at least invade an abundance of mindsets

Will give many ministers and Bible-study groups hours of material to discuss. But mainstream audiences will find little of interest in this film, which is often preachy and poorly acted.

A few nonbelievers may rethink their attitudes when they see the joy the characters take in this creed, but skeptics aren't likely to enter the theater.

The movie oozes innocent charm, and keeps time with a brisk story.

I grew a brain a long time ago. I realized that god did not exist. I also, fairly recently, that Jesus, as a man, did not exist. There's a possibility, but there's no proof.This is a moralistic load of horse crap. I wanted to vomit through the whole thing. It is absolutely worthless as a film. It is nothing more

Embarrassingly bad, surprisingly poor acting from some established actors. Very clearly low budget, which effects the film in a negative way. The one sided preachiness is unbearable, it is by no means subtle, it clobbers you over the head repeatedly with it?s message. The amateur direction by Rich Christiano lacks
