Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A movie that's as sweet as it is clever, and never so clever that it forgets to be entertaining.
Fresh: A delightful, entertaining trifle of a film that shows both the possibilities and limitations of taking liberties with literature and history.
Fresh: Clever and well calculated.
Fresh: Time After Time is still a fun fish-out-of-water flick that deserves more attention than it has received in the thirty years following its release. But there's still plenty of time for that.
Customer Reviews
A favorite oldie
I never failed to watch this when it came on cable as a kid. Great plot and lots of fun to watch. Has its hokey moments like most old thrillres but it's smart and unique. I own it.
New re-review.
I had nt seen this movie since 197 in the theatre. It was a good time travel movie. I still enjoyed it very much. The acting was alittle hokey. But I rememberinking that in 1979.. Well worth renting.
happy to see this movie is getting watched!
wonderful film that tanked when it came out. Brilliant concept incredibly well executed. Very good performance by macdowell.
