SYNOPSIS

In this 20-something romantic comedy, Douglas Henshall stars as the "resting" actor who loses the love of his life, Lena Headey, after a stupid infidelity. Unwittingly encountering a means to turn back time, he goes back to the past to try to rectify his mistake. But, in spite of strong and convincing performances from Headey, Henshall and the lovely Penélope Cruz, the time-travel device is a source of weakness and acts as an irritation to an otherwise entertaining movie. Look out for a nice cameo from Elizabeth McGovern.
