The Time Traveler’s Wife

Chick Flick, Tearjerker
3.5 stars
Good tear-jerker about a man (Eric Bana) who has no control over when and where he travels through time. I did not read the book, so I was left with a million questions: Where does he go when not with his wife (Rachel McAdams)? How was he able to keep an apartment and a job before he met his wife? How could his father entrust him with his late wife’s rings when Bana could disappear at any moment? Isn’t his first meeting with his wife kinda creepy - you know, a naked man hiding in the bushes while a little girl picnics? And many more. I still liked the movie – the romance, the longing, the tragedies - and tissues are definitely needed for the ending.
