This light through-the-ages romcom comes with a surprisingly bitter note.The leads - Hathaway and Sturgess - have good chemistry and produce charismatic performances, but its fair to say that Hathaway's British accent was somewhat...erm...well travelled in its variability. Still good on her for trying. Sturgess' character made me wonder whatever did happen to Terry Christian?
The script is often lightly witty and occasionally insightful - but particular nods to the makeup team who managed to make Sturgess convincingly age with the times and the production designers for evoking the spirit of each age so succinctly.
Verdict: Imperfect, but engaging enough.
