Review of Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009) by Brandon S — 06 Jul 2010

This is a film I found to be genuinely enjoyable for myself and the entire group of friends that watched it. As they say in the film "story is king, always has been always will be". The storyline essentially goes in one big time traveling loop which gives the viewer several "oh my god I remember that from earlier!" moments. The basic outline of the movies is three down on their luck friends two in dead end jobs, one recently fired from a dead end job, go to a bar to have a few drinks. While off to buy a round of drinks Ray meets a woman who tells him that she is a time traveler here to fix a "time leak" and that he will be extremely famous in the future. He of course thinks this is a joke set up by his two friends because he is obsessed with time travel, however it proves to be true. The group finds the time leak in the bathroom and begins traveling back and forth through various parts of time every time they enter/leave the bathroom, trying to find their way home.

The movie actually could have been made into a much more serious movie with a little adjustment because the story was prepared so well, however they aimed for time traveling comedy and indeed did a good job of this as well. The movie produces a lot of good laughs through the awkward situations this accidental time travel produces. The characters are all very likable and the acting was generally pretty good, with the exception Dean Lennox Kelly who failed to convince me that he was ever really scared which was a problem considering his character spends 70% of the movie. That was the only real problem I had with it though and it wasn't nearly enough to stop me from enjoying this.

7.8/10.
