Mihai Toma The Timer is a small device which told the person who had it attached exactly when he or she will meet their soul mates. Oona, a woman whose mother was desperately relying on the thing, has her timer completely blank since she got it so she spends a lot of time trying to figure out the problem. Meanwhile, fortunately for her, she meets a charming boy, younger than her, which will play an important role in the nearby future.It's an enjoyable comedy which bases on a pretty interesting concept (the Timer) and presents a bunch of people whose lives are deeply affected by this expensive gizmo. As much as I liked the movie (most of it) I have to say that the finale is simply catastrophic. They ruined it as badly as they could, from a tangled but pretty love story to an unnecessary Timer intervention which makes everything fall apart. Pity, as it could have been a much better movie if it wasn't for that stupid ending
lewiskendell "What's the point in continuing without a guarantee?"A device that tells you the exact amount of time it will be until you meet your soulmate seems to be the perfect answer for heartbreak and uncertainty, but it only causes problems for Oona, who has yet to have her timer begin to count down (because the person she is meant to be with, whoever they may be, has yet to get one). This frustration and loneliness leads her to begin a casual relationship with a young man whose timer countdown is set to end in just a few months. A fairly interesting tale unravels from this setup, that brings up questions of destiny and what's better, the person who is right for us or the person we choose. A novel premise and thoughtful script from a modern romantic drama? AND a likable protagonist that's not the same caricature we've seen a thousand times (Emma Caulfield gets total credit for pulling that off)? I genuinely liked TiMER, for those reasons and others.This isn't my usual kind of movie, but it's so well made that I enjoyed it. Genre fans will like it even more.
ecogirlveghead Its time for producers of Hollywood blockbusters to stand up and take notice! Emma Caulfield makes this movie. Her comic timing is perfect. She is light and bright and shows just the right amount of depth for this part.She has soooo much more talent and comic ability than big names like Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts. They've become so big they've forgotten how to be the character in the movie. These ladies show up and put in uninspired performances - I hestitate to even call them performances. Their movies have become "Julia Roberts stands in front of the camera saying some lines". In Eat, Pray, Love, Julia Roberts was humdrum and boring and ordinary. Resting on her laurels. And honestly, Jennifer Aniston never had Emma Caulfield's comic talent or depth.Emma Caulfield pulled me into her character - she was totally believable - this is the kind of acting I watch movies for. She actually made an effort and the result is fresh, fun, heartening, entertaining! I want to see more of her.
ironaxe Very thought provoking, yet whimsical at times, this movie kept my attention!! Told all my friends to see it. I absolutely love the characters in the movie.. I can relate to a lot of what is going on in the movie.. and added twist, this movie had kinda of a sci-fi feel!! loved that!! The movie was well scripted, and the actors were unusual,quirky, but it fit well.. Its all about the idea, that really hit me, and I loved it. go see, or rent the movie. You wont be sorry! And, all you manly guys, you will like the movie too.. This movie will make you think a lot about your situation. And relationships, and how they are formed..
