I'm a real sucker for romantic movies and might be the only guy hanging on to his handkerchief in most; but not this one. TTW is void of any genuine emotion, primarily because the story is so silly and they contrive nonsense like having the time traveler go back in time and talk with his own self.
The romance is undercut by having Mr. Time Traveller encounter his great love when he is age 35 and she is a child of 8 (eight). (I'm not kidding!) Anyway, this time traveler is supposed to be a research assistant at a library, but this also is nonsense because nobody -- except maybe Lindsay Lohan -- can hold a job when they're absent 90% of the time. So his real living is made stealing other men's clothes which sometimes includes a wallet. His true love sits around with no real life, no friends, empty holidays, while waiting for an occasional visit from Mr. TT.
If you've seen other time travel movies, remember them. Most of them were entertaining and interesting. This one is not.
(Big spoiler). Mr TT is a Chicago Democrat and eventually he'll meet his death by being accidentally shot in a hunting accident by his Republican father-in-law. This is the kind of political cheap-shot that liberals sometimes pepper their otherwise non-political fiction with. It doesn't rise to the occasion of being offensive; but (hey) it's easier than rational discussion.
score 1/10
