About Time (American remake)

What if every moment in life came with a second chance?

American remake of the 2013 classic About Time. At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Peter Forman, TV's The Biscuit Boys) discovers he can travel in time... The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim's father (Liam Neeson, Battleship) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can't change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life-so he decides to make his world a better place...by getting a girlfriend. Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as you might think. Moving from Paterson, New Jersey, to New York City, Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (Sydney Sweeney, TV's Euphoria). They fall in love, then an unfortunate time-travel incident means he's never met her at all. So they meet for the first time again-and again-but finally, after a lot of cunning time-traveling, he wins her heart. Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic proposal, to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches, to save his best friend from professional disaster and to get his pregnant wife to the hospital in time for the birth of their daughter, despite a nasty traffic jam outside 42nd Street. But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can't save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere. There are great limits to what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous too.
