Love Across Time

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.

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.

This was cute and pretty predictable, but I ended up enjoying it. It takes place in Britain at a huge manor house from the late 16th century. The heroine has come from America to tour properties owned by a bank back in the states-in order to sell or auction them off. She goes to stay at one that she immediately falls in love with. While wandering around the basement she's met with a man in period clothing on the other side of a large mirror. The unreal part was how accepting the characters were of this part. Just not realistic. I get it, they only have so much time, but it just seemed too easy. When he comes through the mirror the story takes off. I've watched many movies about time travel and read way too many books featuring it so I can say this was right in line with most movies like this. I really enjoyed the man's character and the actor. The woman's character wasn't bad, but I didn't feel a whole lot of chemistry between the two. Still, as I said, it was cute and enjoyable and I'm glad I took the time to watch. Oh, and another thing I enjoyed was the caretaker's character. Now, he was quirky!

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!

This has characters that I liked, as well as a plot a bit deeper than the norm. There are no drastic winding curves, but it is a very pleasant curvy country road.

There is a bit of whimsical time warping, but it is mildly plausible and I do love the action that required that the characters breach the barrier.

I found both of the leads quite believable. There are a couple of tricks borrowed from other time related tales, but I found them to be quite fittingly used. I found this to be a very enjoyable film and I loved the character development of the Gardner very much.

I did not expect the ending but was very pleasantly surprised. If you are interested in a cute little fantasy that has a happy ending then get a snack and something to drink because this is it!
