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.

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.

I like Aubrey Reynolds as an actress, she never seems like she is "acting", she doesn't seem like she is delivering lines. She always seems like she is just responding to the situation, as it should be. Also she doesn't wear much eye makeup and that helps her look beautiful, not artificial.

Here she is Chelsea Grayson, working for a USA firm that owns a very old English mansion that has fallen somewhat in disrepair. She travels there to facilitate a sale, the thought being it would be sold to ether tear down or be converted into some different type of property.

To save money her firm decides she will stay there for a few days instead of a hotel. She is warned, don't go into the basement, some say it is haunted. Being the curious type she goes anyway and sees a floor length mirror, it has a faint blue glow, and in the mirror she sees what looks like a nobleman from a different era. Like from 1799.

She meets the man in the mirror, Toby-Alexander Smith as Charles Barkley V. The script even has a few jokes about the USA basketball player of the same name. The story gets a bit more complex from then on but the two of them eventually start working on a plan to save the old mansion. It even involves an investment idea and a trick borrowed from BTTF 3 where Doc Brown writes a letter from the 1800s to be delivered to Marty in current time.

All in all a superior movie of this genre, very well made and entertaining. My wife and I watched it at home, streaming on Prime.

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!

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!
