Alright, so the other day I was in the mood for a movie night, and I really wanted something in the same vein as “About Time”. You know, that heartwarming, time-travel-y, rom-com vibe? But I’d seen “About Time” like a million times already, So I started my search.
First, I opened my go-to movie review website, you know that one with all the user reviews? I typed “About Time” into the search bar, and hit enter.
Then I scrolled through the page. Found a section labeled “similar movies”. Perfect. I started clicking through some of the titles that sounded interesting. I Checked out the trailers and read a few reviews for each one. Some seemed too cheesy, others too serious. I was really looking for that perfect balance of humor and heart.
I made a list of the movies, in my phone. I jotted down a few notes for each one, like “maybe too sappy” or “looks promising, good reviews”.
- “When We First Met” – Seemed kinda funny, also a time travel twist.
- “The Time Traveler’s Wife” – Already seen it, so not this time.
- “Safety Not Guaranteed” – This one looked quirky and interesting, definitely a contender.
- “Midnight in Paris”- Gives me the fantasty, so added.
- “Palm Springs” – Many people say it’s good, of course I add it.
Make a Decision
After I had my list, I decided to watch “Safety Not Guaranteed”. I flipped a coin, heads for “When We First Met” and tails for “Safety Not Guaranteed.”
Tails it was! I made some popcorn, settled in on the couch, and pressed play.
The movie has a low-budget indie charm. The quirky concept and deadpan humor immediately drew me in. It’s a clever blend of genres, mixing a touch of sci-fi mystery with a heartfelt exploration of human connection.
Turn out I really enjoyed it. It gave me similar vibes to “About Time” in a new and interesting way.
So my mission was a success. If you are looking for something similar to “About Time”, I suggest giving this a shot.
