Over the weekend I went to see The Time Traveler's Wife with a friend, who I would have never expected would want to see it. Turns out he had seen Rachel McAdams on 'The Daily Show' talk about the movie and it made him want to see it. The funny thing is, Rachel McAdams pretty much gave the movie away on that show, but even then my friend really enjoyed the movie. And so did I.
The Time Traveler's Wife, which is based on the book of the same name by Audrey Niffenegger, tells the story of Henry (Eric Bana) and Clare (Rachel McAdams), how they fell in love and how they dealt with Henry's unusual problem. You see, Henry is a time traveler, which means he spontaneously goes back and forth in time to places and times that are important in his life. It is during one of his "travels" that Clare first meets him when she is still a young girl. The interesting part is that Henry on the other side is in his forties and already knows that he will end up marrying her.

It's like people sat down in a room and thought about a movie they could do for me. What can I say I'm a romantic at heart and I know where I'll be on August 14. I haven't read the book the movie is based on, but I like the premise and come on, who wouldn't wait for Eric Bana to come back to them? I think I better prepare a box of tissue for the movies.
The Time Traveler's Wife will be released to theaters on August 14, 2009. Watch the trailer below.
The Time Traveler's Wife Synopsis: Based on the best-selling book about a love that transcends time. Clare has been in love with Henry her entire life. She believes they are destined to be together, even though she never knows when they will be separated: Henry is a time traveler--cursed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes him to live his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and forth through his lifespan with no control. Despite the fact that Henry's travels force them apart with no warning, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love.
