This movies first and middle half are somewhat good and I quite liked it but it is the ending that really ruins it from me. It was only because of the ending that I thought I wasted my time. So I'd really recommend not watching this movie unless you want to waste your time.

I've loved this movie for 15 years. It's a definite favorite! The time concept is brilliant and there's twists at every turn of the movie. I can relate with the main character because getting older is no fun when you're alone. I can relate to her desperation for fun with a younger man. I also like her contrasted antagonistic complete opposite personality of a sister! She's a hoot!

I liked the concept of this film, the idea that everyone is obsessed about finding 'the one' but I don't think it went far enough and the ending was annoying

The relationship between the two step sistersis so dynamic and c ompelling, and the overall concept is very thought-provoking. Steady pace and sweet love story subplots.

Some of Ms. Schaeffer's plot twists are easy to guess, but everyone's enjoyable to watch.

TiMER never rises above the level of a sitcom. All that's missing is the laugh track.

Rated: 1/4

Time Out

The lukewarm female talk occasionally grates and the men are portrayed as mind-numbingly simplistic, but on the whole this cyber-Cupid exercise is surprisingly affecting.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Timer's premise is fresh, making this earnest romcom a delightful watch.

That Shelf

A romantic comedy (with a dash of science fiction) that will certainly appeal to single women, the film is very original in concept, if not so much in execution.

Alternate Ending

Makes no claims on anything other than being a charming experience that makes you think for just exactly the length of time it's onscreen.
