Spend Time to watch

Maynard from , 9th September, 2009

Three lads in a pub find themselves trapped in time travel with no idea of 'when' they are or if they will ever get back to their own time. They are vaguely helped by girl called Cassie who is a time leak repairer. At times it's worth using the pause button just to try and work out just what happened and when??!! There is a fair amount of humour and repartee between the three guys sometimes outright funny other times a little darker. This is a good BRITISH comedy and makes a refreshing change from some of the un-funny comedies that have recently appeared from the USA. Go for it!!

Well worth taking time to watch!!

kingpin36 from , 27th September, 2009

By far one of the most original time travel films ever with lashings of witty British Humour and a great cast. As with any time travel film you are frequently left with that distinct feeling of confusion by way of lots of head scratching, however this is soon dispersed with a superb story line packed with funny moments. British comedy at its best right up there with Shaun of the dead.

FAQ about time travel

A Customer from Hook, 5th November, 2009

Cannot believe some of the reviews on here; one of the most unfunny, badly acted, weakest scripted films i have seen in a long time. To compare it, like others, to Shaun of the Dead is just hilarious ( more hilarious than this film anyway- the one and only joke in the film is in the first two minutes and that is shouting obscenities at children). If i could give it 0/5 stars i would have done!

Awsome British comedy. Well worth watching!

A Customer from England, 27th September, 2009

Well, the comparisons with Shaun Of The Dead were inevitable I guess and there's a lot of people quick to point out that it isn't as good as the acclaimed ZomRomCom with Simon Pegg. That taken for granted, this was a highly entertaining movie which never failed to surprise or amuse. Our main protagonist loses his job in the local science fiction theme park experience. At the pub he meets a girl called Cassie who claims that she is from the future, but he's convinced that he's being set up by someone who knows his obsession with all things science fiction, especially time travel. His two drinking mates deny all knowledge and are highly sceptical of the whole story until one by one they discover a time leak in the pub toilets and then things get a little complicated and a lot crazy. The two more geeky friends explain to the less geeky friend that the three most important things to remember when time travelling is not to kill anyone, not to have sex with anyone, but most awkward for them at the time is not to have any contact with your past or future selves. My advice is not to see any promotional material whatsoever and check this out. Anything else I say about the movie will just ruin the surprises. The only thing keeping this movie from a full score is that none of the characters, as entertaining as they are, is quite up to Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's level of energy and charisma.

Just not very funny

A Customer from Portsmouth, UK, 16th March, 2010

I had high hopes for this after reading a number of good reviews which said it was funny and had a clever approach to time travel. I also like Chris O'Dowd in the IT crowd and hoped he could be as funny here. Well, it was a disappointment in all areas. There were a few funny moments, but very few and far between. And the story was not clever - just convoluted. Yes we know about the time travel paradoxes and how things can get very messy - and that is all that happened.

It's NOT Sci-Fi!!!

Lotsmor from , 9th March, 2010

Wonderful fun. Not quite on par with Shaun of the Dead but certainly worth watching. I picked it up out of loyalty to the Brit-movie the liking the cast from their various TV escapades, my husband humoured me and we both thought it was very funny. Keep it running past the credits too :o) Enjoy!!!

Short & Sci-Fi Sweet!

MoosterReviewer from from Manchester, England, 6th March, 2010

Very funny! As a dedicated Marc Wootton fan (his mock-u-com shows Shirley Ghostman and My New Best Friend are hi-larious!), his presence here is what drew me to watch 'FAQ About Time Travel', but the appeal in fact is much more wide-reaching. It's only short, which gives it a weird feature-length-tv-episode vibe rather than a movie, but if you take it for what it is, you'll be eminently satisfied! And being decidedly not a sci-fi (sorry, Science Fiction) devotee/fan/follower/geek, I was pleasantly surprised to find its tribute to, and teasing of, a massive sci-fi tradition very clever and very amusing. And Anna Faris is lovely, and brings a bit of Hollywood to the table, which is welcome and not at all out of place. Recommended!

Entertaining Nonsense

PPPPPPPPPP from , 4th March, 2010

I really enjoyed this film. I like time travel, I like British comedy and when I watch films I like to be able to 'check' my brain at the door and just enjoy a film for what it is ie, made up stuff designed to entertain. Some funny jokes with the eternal time travel dilemma too
