Time Traveler's Wife


Review-Time Traveler's Wife was a great book. But it had the ability to lose readers because it jumped around it's timeline a lot. But i thought it was great, I've been waiting for this movie ever since I heard Plan B picked it up a couple of years ago. For those of you that don't know that is Brad and Jennifer's production company. So yes this movie has been in limbo a long time. I think they were still together when they acquired the rights to the movie. Anyway the movie is a lot more straightforward than the book. They focus on the constant Time line and travel from there, which makes it easier to follow than the book. It's a little diluted and there are some changes at the end of the movie that were not at the end of the book. I think maybe to make it a little happier, i don't know, that's the new fad don't even get me started about My Sister's Keeper. But overall it was worth watching. Basically Clare Abshire (Rachael McAdams) has spent her whole life waiting for Henry DeTamble (Eric Bana). I liked it, my fiance did not, but I'm sappier than her anyway. She saw it as an anti-feminist statement about how a women is always waiting for a man. Which i guess if you put it that way, it kinda does. Anyway if you liked the book, you'll like the movie. Go check it out.
