Product Description

British sci-fi comedy following the adventures of three nerdy social outcasts (Chris O'Dowd, Marc Wootton and Dean Lennox Kelly), whose attempts to navigate a time-travel conundrum while drinking at their local pub lead them to discover a rift in the space-time continuum in the pub toilets. Anna Faris co-stars as Cassie, the girl from the future who sets the adventure in motion.

Product Description

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Anamorphic Widescreen, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Three men walk into a bar; two geeks and a cynic.They are three ordinary blokes who all have dreams and hopes for an exciting and better future. They are stuck in boring jobs with no prospects. They are frustrated and life on the whole looks uneventful.They are about to sit down and have an average night out in their local pub, a few beers, a bit of banter and joking, and putting the world to rights. There is no reason to suspect anything unusual is going to happen.The first geek, Ray, has a well-known obsession with time travel, so when he is approached by Cassie, a woman who claims to be from the future, he naturally suspects a prank.The second geek, Toby, is obsessed with films, and upon hearing Ray's story of the woman from the future, naturally assumes that Ray is pitching him a film plot. And Pete, the cynic, naturally doesn't believe any of it, until he accidentally stumbles through a time leak into the future of the bar -- which happens to be full of dead people, including himself.This triggers the start of a series of accidental trips back and forth through time, during which our heroes frantically try to avoid multiple earlier versions of themselves, to avoid creating a time paradox, in an attempt to unravel the mystery of just who is trying to kill them and why.When Ray and Cassie get together in the garden and the world spins back on its axis, everything is back to how it should be. Or is it? When Ray mentions the other woman he met in the bar, Millie, to Cassie all hell breaks loose... Serious questions are raised, such as; exactly what are the golden rules of time travel?

It is every film lovers most satisfying moment - even better than when a summer blockbuster does live up to the hype - it is of course when a film you've not even heard of absolutely exceeds your expectation.

So this film follows the bizarre story of three friends played by homegrown talent Marc Wooten, Dean Lennox Kelly and Chris O'Dowd as they live out a mundane existance until one night.....

We start with our three friends Toby, Ray and Pete working in a second rate theme park, their jobs are so dull and all they live for their nights in the pub and sci-fi. It is in the pub that night that they are visited by a time traveller Cassie, played by the beautiful Anna Faris (she almost steals the show in her 15ish minute screen time), she has gone back in time to see them before they are famous, this is laughted off as a practical joke until on a trip into the toilets they quickly learn Cassie's visit has left a loophole in time, each time they come out they find themselves at a different point. Whether in the distant future where the world resembles an apololyptic wasteland or back in time a mere half an hour where they have to avoid running into themselves from the past the comedy is never side spilitting but is relentless enough to just keep on entertainting throughout. Cassie's attempts to help correct the situation often hinder as much as help but lead to a fitting climax in little over an hour.

What unfolds is sweet and unthreatening, a real buddy movie that really does build from such a strange idea. Gareth Carrivicks big screen bow should be applauded as a real stand out film for 2009.

It is, at times, little more than a sitcom/movie homage to the sci fi genre in much the same way that Shaun of the Dead was to horror, but rises above that most often to have us all dreaming about what may lie in store for us all.

It is not a dvd I'll be lending for fear of not getting it back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth a watch..... 1 Oct 2009
Format:DVD
Shaun of the Dead meets Doctor Who... that's a tall order for any film, especially a tiny budget, brit flick! And I personally think they lived up to it. A hilarious film, brilliant acting, superb dialogue and exceptional direction. The only problem I had - it was all over way too fast! Looking forward to the Sequel!

not quite what I imagined when I purchased this but comedy at its best, well worth the money, don't want to give the game away but the scenes where they almost meet themselves are excellent

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Horrible
I suppose I'm damning this film with faint praise when I say it's not horrible.

Having said that, the story doesn't really deliver much. Read more

This low budget low-brow 'time-travel' film fails to impress. Its a waste of time in my opinion..and is about as subtle as an EastEnders script. Read more
