Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
I understand why this movie has a respectable cult following. I get the appeal. I only wish the movie would have followed through with its promising premise all the way. I didn't dislike it, but was a little letdown.

Funny, smart, touching and, did we mention romantic? Somewhere in Time is a masterclass in acting, writing and emotive cinema. Required viewing.

Starburst
A charming, witty, passionate romantic drama about a love transcending space and time, Somewhere In Time is an old-fashioned film in the best sense of that term.

Variety
Director Jeannot Szwarc strains hard for spectacular visual effects, though he's barely able to compose a competent close-up.

The [Grand H]otel and Mackinac [Island] are spectacularly lovely, but fail to give substance to this ephemeral endeavor.

Rating: 2/4 --
The movie surrounds its love story with such boring mumbo jumbo about time travel that we finally just don't care.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Somewhere in Time is the story of a young writer who sacrifices his life in the present to find happiness in the past, where true love awaits him. Young Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) is approached by an elderly woman who gives him an antique gold watch and who pleads with him to return in time with her. Years later, Richard Collier is overwhelmed by a photograph of a beautiful young woman (Jane Seymour). Another picture of this woman who had in her later years reveals to him that she is the same woman who had given him the gold watch. Collier then becomes obsessed with returning to 1912 and the beautiful young woman who awaits him there.
Product Description:
A young writer (Christopher Reeve) is mystified by the old portrait of a beautiful stage actress (Jane Seymour) from the turn of the century. He uses his mind through self-hynosis to turn back the years to the misty distant past, and find the woman who has him spellbound. Soon they are in love, and the time difference is only one of the problems to overcome. Scored by composer John Barry (of James Bond fame).

True love found (and lost)
Movie Lover: palmer hall jr from
Lincoln Park, MI US -- December, 9, 2008
In our dreams, we think of that ONE special person to fufill our hopes of love and happiness but, sadly, they are only dreams. This movie gives us a glimpse of what, and how strong, true love can be. One person on a quest of the heart, another innocent and unknowing, thrust together by...chance, happenstance, fate? No... brought together by, and sustained by, the power of true love.
This story may be a fairytale, but the love it represents is not. This love and longing is in us all and this movie shows us our own heart.
