      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Though it may satisfy fans of the novel, The Time Traveler's Wife's plot contrivances and illogical narrative hamper its big screen effectiveness.

      Sparky K The book is fantastic. The film is good but not as good as the book. The best adaption is the series written by Stephen Moffat, give that a go. But the film is OK. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review AZURA C cốt chuyện khá thú vị. Khi t xem review khá hay nhưng khi xem phim lại thấy hơi thiếu mạch lạc Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Maxilou good movie ,liked Bana's in this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Definitely strange and the time travel doesn’t seem to have many rules followed except he goes naked. Is confusing and left me with a bunch of questions but good enough to watch the whole thing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Audience Member All this time travel and the biggest plot hold to me is Clare growing out of her red hair. I love this movie, it’s cute, I honestly didn’t think it was that great when I first saw it as a teen but as a parent and someone in love, damn does this movie hurt so good.

      Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online But I should say, if you take out the part about the dumb premise, the acting is quite good--it almost makes you forget you're watching the big screen version of the tv show "Quantum Leap." Rated: C- Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: C Feb 18, 2012 Full Review David Fear Time Out That the actors can pull off such Oprah-friendly, sci-fi-inflected sap and keep straight faces is the most fantastic thing about this loopy love story. Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com It's far too breezy to be taken seriously and way too creepy to ever allow an audience to surrender to the romance. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 26, 2020 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures The Time Traveler's Wife is a chick flick all around, and fans of the chick flick genre are going to eat this movie up. Rated: 3/5 Jul 21, 2012 Full Review Dave White Movies.com The movie also introduces the concept of time-traveling fetuses, yet we're never treated to this in any visual way.
