Tangy romantic comedy plays sly games.

The story isn't perfectly proportioned ... but it gets quirkier at the points where most romantic comedies go limp.

This is a tangy romantic comedy that plays sly games of its own with time as the story unfolds.
October 16, 2001 | Rating: 4/5 -
Gleefully silly fun, with a few core concepts on the nature of time, space, and la-la-la-love thrown in for good measure.

For a high-flown fantasy, it's surprisingly down-to-Earth.

Jul 15, 2012This was recently on Entertainment Weekly's 50 Best Movies You've Never Seen list, and it certainly is awesome despite its kooky concept of whether Ruby's new lover is a potentially dangerous paranoid-delusional or if he's actually a time traveler from 2470. What I really enjoyed is that I couldn't figure it out either. Sam's backstory and mission are convincingly explained away by some futuristic developments, but everything the shrink says about temporal lobe epilepsy seems valid as well. Vincent D'Onofrio is just sweet enough and just lazy-faced-crazy enough to lend a slight disturbance to this otherwise light romance.Alice S Super Reviewer

Jan 03, 2012This was a pretty good movie. Solid performances from the cast and the hint of mystery make the movie intriguing to watch, if anything else. It's not mind-blowing by any means and it lacks something, and I'm not sure what it would've been, that might have made the movie better. But, again, it's a solid movie. Nothing more, nothing less.Jesse O Super Reviewer

Jan 03, 2012It Like like K-PAX, but with Tomei and D'Onofrio relationship as the centerpiece. Quirky and Romantic, it really doesn't reach mind bending for me. The tension of the story is held squarely "Is D'Onofrio" sane or a time traveler. There is a quirky chemestry that works, D'Onofrio is smitten with Tormei and Tormei is in love with his dedication to her (after a life full of failed romances).Bill C Super Reviewer

Jan 11, 2009It was okay. I don't think I'm the right audience for romantic films , I guess.Marion R Super Reviewer
