Product description
Romantic fantasy drama based on the bestselling novel by Audrey Niffenegger. Eric Bana stars as Chicago librarian Henry DeTamble, who is born with a genetic disorder that causes him involuntarily to time travel when he becomes stressed. This means that he often drops out of the present for long periods of time, causing his ongoing and deeply passionate romance with the love of his life, artist Clare Abshire (Rachel McAdams), to run into all kinds of difficult complexities.

A good film trio with fabulous cast
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2021Verified Purchase
I am very happy with my purchase & having 3 films in 1 means less to store! I bought particularly for The Time Travellers Wife which is such a well orchestrated story & beautifully told by the main characters, depicting their relationship over a number of years, how tender, loving, patience, understanding is naturally flowing to be together. The Notebook is outstanding in many ways, impactful due to my own personal story, reflected in part by the main characters & my family. The story, characters & events tear at your heart, lifting you ,taking you with them on their adventures through life's twists & turns. I haven't watched My Sister's Keeper but think I saw it years ago, if it's the same one, then it's another good story & good cast

Respectable treatment of a really good book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2014Verified Purchase
This is romance as it used to be, and I enjoyed it (over and over again) very much. It has become one of my favourites (up there with Close Encounters, Starman, Meet Joe Black and City of Angels).
Inevitably, you couldn't possibly have the whole 500+ pages of the book redone as a film, so some material had to be left out. I vote one out of two for this retelling. Firstly, and thankfully, in the book there is a horribly misplaced and unnecessary sex scene on a kitchen table which doesn't appear in the film. I'm no prude, but when I got to that, thankfully, very small part of the book, I was more than a little surprised, because nothing else in the book had that smutty tone. (It was almost as though somebody in the editorial department had said to Niffenegger that they needed just a little spice to help it sell. It was completely out of place, and I was pleased to see that it wasn't shown in the film.)
On the minus side, the ending in the book was so, so much better than the film; I had to reread it just to make sure I'd not made it all up.
That said, it's a wonderful film, and I'd seriously recommend it to anyone who has a heart and likes a drop of time travel. I'd say as a word of caution to anyone who has neither read the book nor seen the film, that you'd possibly be better off reading the book first, as the time sequences could be a little confusing in the film; the book spells it all out and, after getting used to the presentation, everything seems quite normal.
Oddly, even after reading the book, this film left me with one question that I needed answering: whatever happened next with Alba? I know with Starman they made a TV mini series - I felt this could also have been done with this material.

The book is so superior
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2020Verified Purchase
I would love someone to remake this and leave in all the things that were in the book that made it such a great book i.e. the adult stuff like sex and violence, etc. Making it as a film for 12 year olds and under ruined it. As for the ending, well? The ending of the book is so far superior..

The Time Travelers Trouble and Strife
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2010Verified Purchase
A fully enjoyable adaptation of the book by Audrey Niffengegger featuring the wife of a man cursed to jump randomly in time. As a love story this is pretty much a perfect film and a good story mainly focussing on how the main couples life is affected by the time jumping. Meeting each other out of order, cheating on her husband with his younger self, a wedding when the groom apparently ages a few decades overnight, trying to have a child - all the everyday things are complicated.
The only major niggle is that there is a lot missing, by this I mean both cuts from the book and a lot of other things that could have been included and as a result the film is a tad jumpy pace wise. Although having watched this with someone who hadn't read the book its not as noticeable as one may think.

Great value
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2022Verified Purchase
Three excellent films, however quite old but most enjoyable. I love a romance. You will need a hanky ready for one of the films but very well acted and realistic would highly recommend.
