Love Across Time

Although somehow, I thought this movie was going to Look at a time, travel more seriously (think Outlander) I still enjoyed it very much when I saw it was going to be more in the hallmark vein. However, it had enough gentle suspense, and the two leads had great chemistry, that I rated it an eight. The male lead was especially good and dreamily, handsome, and even the secondary male lead, the Scottish caretaker was a hoot! I thought it was going to hit him at the beginning, but then I ended up appreciating him. The scenery was gorgeous, and I had a little bit of dampness in my eyes at the ending. My husband even watched the whole thing with me and that is saying something! So, if you're in the mood for a sweet, light story, this might be perfect for you.

Some of these reviews are very cruel... hey it's a make believe fantasy movie. How we would like life to be sometimes with the way things are going these days.

I always enjoy the time travel movies. What if? And for a couple of hours you can time travel with the actors. And with all the bad things happening in our world these days, I love a happy ending. This movie had all of those things. Aubrey was sweet and natural, believable and the fact that she was not a well known actress kept you in the possible believable story line. And the male actor was a genuine nice person he kind of person almost every woman wishes she would meet. So, sit back and enjoy the fantasy, don't pick it apart, with what if's... remember when you were younger and did make believe, it doesn't have to be perfect to be enjoyable.

The movie's simplicity is its charm. There's something refreshing about a film that doesn't overcomplicate itself with intricate plots or deep philosophical themes. Instead, it focuses on what matters: a simple story that's easy to follow, pleasant to watch, and designed purely for enjoyment. It's an easy watch, uncomplicated and perfect for those moments when you just want to kick back and enjoy a movie without having to analyze every detail or dive into complex characters. Sometimes, you just want something light, and this movie delivers just that. Its simplicity allows you to focus on the enjoyment of watching, without any unnecessary distractions.

One of the key aspects that make this movie so appealing is its lack of complications and heavy conflict. The plot is straightforward, and there's a sense of ease that comes with it. There's no need to stress over intricate twists or the constant pressure of something bad happening around every corner. For me, this made it easier to watch and enjoy-especially during times when I don't want to overthink. The movie is perfect for those moments when I just want to relax and pass the time without getting too caught up in heavy emotions or complicated narrative threads. The story is simple, and that's what makes it so enjoyable. It provides just enough entertainment without overloading the audience, and sometimes, that's all you really need.

Now, it's clear that this is not a high-budget film. You can tell that the production value isn't on par with major Hollywood blockbusters, and there's a certain modesty to how the movie is made. But oddly, this works in the film's favor. Its charm doesn't come from flashy special effects or elaborate set designs; rather, it comes from the simplicity of the story and the likability of the characters. The characters are far from complex, but they're undeniably fun to watch. They are relatable, simple, and endearing, which makes the movie feel warm and inviting. It's a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's one of its biggest strengths.

Among the cast, Charles stands out as my favorite character. His performance is heartfelt, and the actor portraying him brings a level of sincerity to the role that makes him incredibly likeable. His character may not have the depth or complexity of some others, but that's exactly why he works so well. He embodies the kind of down-to-earth charm that makes him instantly likable, and I found myself rooting for him throughout the film. His interactions with the other characters, especially Quinn, added a nice dynamic to the movie, giving it an extra layer of fun and entertainment.

Quinn, in particular, is another standout character. While Charles is my favorite, Quinn also brought a lot to the table in terms of making the movie much more engaging and fun to watch. His energy and sense of humor injected the film with a lightheartedness that made it much more enjoyable. His comedic timing was spot on, and he provided some of the film's most entertaining moments. The dynamic between Charles and Quinn is one of the movie's highlights, and it's clear that the actors had great chemistry together. Their back-and-forth created a natural flow to the story, making it feel effortless and fun.

On the other hand, Chelsea's character, while still enjoyable, could have been a bit more dynamic. At times, she felt a bit flat, and I found myself wishing for a little more energy or spark from her. While the actress did a fine job, there were moments when I thought she could have added a bit more depth or excitement to her performance. She had the potential to be a more fun character, but at times, she just didn't bring that extra layer to make her stand out as much as the other characters. Despite this, I still enjoyed watching her and thought she brought a nice balance to the group.

Overall, the movie is a nice watch. It's simple, lighthearted, and offers a break from the more intense, high-stakes films that often dominate the screen. While it's not a cinematic masterpiece, it's a pleasant and enjoyable film that's perfect for a laid-back viewing experience. The characters are lovable, the story is easy to follow, and it doesn't require you to think too much, which is exactly what makes it so charming. If you're looking for a movie that's not going to challenge your intellect or leave you emotionally drained, this one is a great option. It's the kind of film that's perfect for those moments when all you need is a fun and relaxing escape. The simplicity and charm are what make it a hidden gem, and it offers the kind of viewing experience that leaves you feeling uplifted and content.

I stumbled across Love Across Time on Amazon Prime and, yeah, total chick flick-but a cute one. It felt like a Hallmark movie that somehow wandered onto Amazon instead. The plot had all the cozy, predictable beats: small-town charm, mild time-travel twist, and just enough sappy dialogue to keep it sweet without being too over-the-top.

You can tell it was written with the Hallmark Channel in mind-it's wholesome, light, and wraps everything up with a neat little bow. Nothing groundbreaking, but sometimes that's exactly what you want after a long day.

If you're in the mood for something feel-good with a bit of heart and don't mind a little cheesy romance, this one's worth the watch.

7.9 stars.

A rare romance that incorporates time travel and love, and it really works.

I remember reading a novel 30 years ago about a mirror and people who pass through it. This film has a similar type of mirror, and it reminds me of that fantasy novel for some reason, even though the novel was not particularly a whimsical romance, as it was a fantasy adventure with villains and magic.

This is the tale of a woman in the present, who is sent from America to Europe to purchase a centuries-old manor for a large real estate corporation. In the process of appraising the huge estate, she stumbles on a magical mirror, that can peer into the past. She sees a man from the 18th century who can see her from his side as well.

This is a love story that bridges time and culture. The plot becomes predictable at this point. Will he come to live in the future or will she jump into the past?

What is so wonderful about this film is that the chemistry is off the charts and the characters are endearing. Every aspect of the film is extraordinary, including the music, lighting, scenery and, of course, the romance.

Must see this every other year!
