The Time Traveler's Wife

Cassie and I caught a matinee showing of the screen adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger's bestselling debut novel. Here's my short review:

"The same emotional power of the novel -- brought me to tears even though I knew the story."

Here's a little more.

  • There's a disjointedness in this film -- and it is very well done!
  • This isn't the first 'time travel date movie,' but I'm pretty sure it's my favorite.
  • Eric Bana's and Rachel McAdams' onscreen chemistry is superb.
  • Not really a spoiler- (but maybe just a little)- I liked the film's ending better.

"Loved the book, loved the film -- and I'm really looking forward to Ms. Niffenegger's new novel."
