Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009)

Director: Gareth Carrivick
Writer: Jamie Mathieson
Cast: Chris O'Dowd, Dean Lennox Kelly, Marc Wootton, Anna Farris
Genre: Sci-Fi, Comedy

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel is a Sci-Fi Comedy based on time travel, and the leading nerds' knowledge of such. It starts out with three best friends going to the pub at the end of another shitty day stuck in their very low status and low pay jobs, with the exception of Ray who even managed to get fired that day. Soon they find them self tangled into a time travel universe beyond their wildest imagination, including a time traveling hottie, Cassie (Farris), trying to help Ray repairing time leaks.

On its best the movie is both fun and imaginative as well as original. Sadly it's also at its worst filled with boring loops and a bit too much semi-explanations of time travel according to our heroes. The variation in quality ruins a lot of the fun, despite being a quite short movie. I do still applaud the attempt thanks to those parts working, which includes some great music choices elevating scenes. Overall it's still a disappointing experience.
