Running Time 107 minutes

The Time Traveler's Wife (12A)

Plot
A Chicago librarian (Bana) suffers from a genetic disorder that causes him to involuntarily travel through time when stressed. Despite this, he tries to build a relationship with an artist (McAdams).

Verdict
Competent and well-cast, but it crams too much into the runtime and loses the elegance of the novel.
