Clare and Henry (Rachel McAdams, Eric Bana) fall in love and get married, but their relationship is both strengthened and challenged by his involuntary time traveling to different periods of his life. This concept usually involves some professor who’s invented a time-traveling machine, so presenting it as a painful condition is a fresh take. Bruce Joel Rubin is the man behind Ghost (1990), so expect a romantic story with supernatural ingredients and a looming threat of death. A very handsome production with two engaging lead performances that help carry this fantasy through its less convincing moments.
