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.

  • “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.
