I have seen this Film several times !! If i could go back in time, besides for the lotto numbers and Sports Scores, I would Love to have been at the filming of the Court Room scenes from "A Few Good Men". Also, Rachel McAdams is a Great Kisser !

Those who didn't like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button better skip it. For the rest of you warm recommendation. This time I won't write review and I won't even try to be objective. I fell in love with this movie and it instantly became one of my favorite love stories. Huge ten, really huge.<3 10/10 <3

A very touching, heart warming tear-jerker of a film. The concept of uncontrollable time travel was also used in the TV series Journeyman, which was also a favourite of mine.Just why Journeyman didn't get the viewers that I thought it deserved is a mystery to me. But it got cancelled like a many good sci-fi series.So this film had the same uncontrollable aspect to time travel, but without the "helping someone in trouble" aspect of Journeyman. In fact, there appears to be no reason why he travels back or forwards in time. It's not to help anyone, but just to endure and wait until he travels back to his own time.I was hoping for a happier ending... maybe Alba with her more controllable time travel could stop the hunters shooting at the deer... but I guess that didn't occur to the screen writers. Pity.

(Warning: Big Spoilers!) The recent short series "Forever" plagiarizes some of the concepts of this movie. (I never read the book). The phenomena is not fully explained and when it is, it's like "Star Trek" Techno-Babble". The Traveler always reappears naked (Eric Bana-The Hulk)) so it's good that he is in great physical shape. Rachel McAdams is amazing. She "smolders". No full frontal nudity. The Time Traveler finds out, after seeking out a skeptical geneticist, that he has a chromosomal mutation, akin to epilepsy, that causes him to often wander helplessly thru time, literally, at the drop of his clothes, which never travel. This leads to a lot of short chases, as he reappears anywhere from meadows to zoo cages to outside buildings, and finds clothes fast. This ultimately leads to his untimely death as he is mistaken for a deer and paradoxically shot by his hunting enthusiast father-in-law. He meets his future wife at (her) age 6 and ultimately marries her. Like the super-hero he is not, only a handful of loyal friends know about his unusual and terrible secret. Thank goodness this film doesn't waste 20 minutes trying to explain the phenomena. (That's what makes the first third of "Somewhere in Time" so boring.) Screenplay by the author of "Ghost" and beautifully filmed in both Chicago and Canada. The colors are rich and sharp, and the film has a haunting quality about it, with several twists and turns, some of which are predictable and others quite surprising. His only offspring also has this "time traveling ability", but she can control it to some extent. He and his young daughter meet themselves coming and going in several situations, without the catastrophic "Time-Space continuum" timequake" shown or predicted in other Sci-Fi films. This is a romantic fantasy, it's not "Quantum Leap"! There is no time machine. Great ending, not unlike "Ghost" when he appears a year after his early death, in the meadow, yet again.
