This movie is one of those little gems you find unexpectedly when flipping channels. The story is simple, but surprisingly intelligent; and it all makes sense at the end. The consequences of time travel is exploited without the hype and hoopla but everything is accounted for. The story uses ordinary folks and so they look and act quite ordinary. That adds to the charm of the whole thing. It is funny, clever and thrilling at the same time. My Rating: 7.0
