WATCH: Trailer for "The Time Traveler's Wife"
6/16/2009 Posted by Admin
What fresh hell is this? Why, it's "The Time Traveler's Wife," and its plot is about as absurd as they come.
Hold on to your gag reflexes, people, because here's the official synopsis: "Based on the best-selling book about a love that transcends time. Clare has been in love with Henry her entire life. She believes they are destined to be together, even though she never knows when they will be separated: Henry is a time traveler--cursed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes him to live his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and forth through his lifespan with no control. Despite the fact that Henry's travels force them apart with no warning, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love."
Obviously, Clare is a codependent wreck. Sure, she's backing up to Bana, but give me a break--nobody would put up with this crap no matter how hot the squeeze. And what is up with Henry? He's "cursed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes him to live his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and forth through his lifespan with no control." Nurse!
Check out the trailer below. The movie opens wide August 14, 2009, which is interesting because August, as we all know by now, is a dumping ground for Hollywood.

I have to ask, do you ever read the books that movies are made from?
I have yet to read the book but it may be better than the movie.
Also, the movie was made for guys like you. It was made for women like me who would flock to see a sappy chick flick with her girlfriends.
I bet it will do well at the box office and even better in DVD sales.
Maybe you should team up with a woman who can review the "painful" movies for you and save you the agony.
