I saw this on a plane and I was almost crying, even though I know it's sappy as hell. It's better than The Time Traveler's Wife, though! How did Rachel McAdams end up in two movies with basically the same plot four years apart? LMAO
Well, Time Traveler's Wife is def not a romcom at least LMAO. Not unless you count [Spoiler (click to open)]questionable levels of accidentally grooming a child and the husband dying a gruesome death comedy. But in the tv series version, the husband as a teen travels back in time only a short time and meets himself and gives himself a blowjob! I guess that's comedic?
Back then it was definitely marketed as one thoug, that’s how they convinced me to watch that mess😅( the movie I mean, I did not see the tv show, the movie was more than enough)
I reread it recently-ish when my power went out (I guess that explains why it's still on my coffee table) and man, there are def some questions that the author didn't ask herself when she made them meet when SHE WAS FIVE AND HE WAS A TIME TRAVELING ADULT. And then she's a horny teenager asking him when they're gonna have sex knowing that SHE MARRIES HIM IN THE FUTURE. And then they have sex when she turns 18.
Am I remembering wrong or she also get pregnant by having sex with a younger version of him even if current him he had a vasectomy and didn’t want kids to avoid them getting the time travel gene?
Yeah, I think something like that happened. And IDK if they knew by that point that it's a deadly gene given how many times he was maimed, but if they did, then especially side eyeing her. Then again, Arrival had a similar plot point in a sense >.> (getting pregnant knowing bad shit would happen because time is loopy).
eta I just learned the author finished a sequel to the time traveler's wife last year and it's been in editing with no news with the publisher for over a year now so I wonder if it was just straight trash since the author hasn't really had any hits for almost 20 years now.
