Even in a work of science fiction like this, Gleeson seems beyond real. All those foam-faces being made in the dark? They're for him.

Overview
The night after another unsatisfactory New Year's party, Tim's father tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. They can't change history, but they can change what happens and has happened in their own lives. Thus begins the start of a lesson in learning to appreciate life itself as it is, as it comes, and most importantly, the people living alongside us.

Some people will revel in this warm front of innocence; others will reach for their Voltaire.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Rotten
There's a lot of comic and fantasy potential here, but much of it gets squandered.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten
To get to the parts that are un-terrible, you have to suffer through the most idiotic plot developments and ill-defined characters imaginable.
Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice

You may as well check your cynicism at the door, because Curtis & Co. are going to find a way to trample all over it - adorably.
