Thoughts
I mean, look. This is Bumper doing time travel. So of course I heart it to pieces.
Rom com, time travel, laughs, loves, Back to the Future references, it's almost perfect.
Two complaints only:
One is that he mentions that he felt he waited too long and was suddenly the friend. I think one of his visits should have been attempting to make a move earlier in the night. It's the only thing he didn't try.
Two is that the woman who was one of the best things in it isn't even featured on the cover.
Small gripes though, for a time travel movie that shows the consequences of changes made in the past (my absolute favourite thing), and proves that you can't really out-think fate.
Rating: 5 / 5
