Pros Unexpected - and oh that first kissing scene…
Cons My, my, didn't we fall in love easily?
Recommended it? Yes

Thus continues my quest to find good romance movies – most preferably with a happy ending.  So far I haven’t done too well. Untamed Heart had me blubbering into Kleenex, Like Water for Chocolate had me throwing my hands up and yelling, “Oh come on!” and this movie,... Read full review »

Pros Gentle love story with spectacular footage of Mackinac Island
Cons Some plot holes. Also, if you hate sappy movies, you'll hate this, too.
Recommended it? Yes

I'm not sure how old I was the first time I watched our beat-up VHS copy of Somewhere in Time; it had to be several years after my first visit to Mackinac Island at age four. Over the years, I've come to greatly appreciate the nuances (and standalone merits) of this most gentle and unique love... Read full review »

When one asks the question- what makes a great romantic story, the answer ultimately is: did you feel it?

Richard Matheson wrote a story called Bid Time Return. In the novel, the writer learns he is dying and goes off to think his life through. He comes across a hotel that was built... Read full review »

Cons end may be sad for some people

Somewhere in Time (1980) was a new film to me and has become one of my favorite films of all time just after one viewing. I mainly chose to view this because Teresa Wright was in it and I wanted to see some of the work she did in her later years as an actress. The fact that Jane Seymour and... Read full review »

Somewhere in Time is an enchantingly romantic movie involving time travel. Re-watching it recently for the first time in many years, I did a little time traveling of my own, back to the early 1980s when I first saw this lovely film starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

Pros ?
Cons ?

When I found Somewhere in Time, I was actually looking for time-travel movies. At first, it sounded like a straight-up time-travel movie. The more I read about it, the more I realized that it had more of a romance theme. I was still interested, though.

The story is about a playwright... Read full review »

I received the DVD movie Somewhere in Time (Collector's Edition) as a Christmas gift. I've enjoyed this movie since it was first released in 1980 and have watched it several times over the years.

Pros Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, acting, Score
Cons Drags badly--boring
Recommended it? No

I guess I am going to have to disagree on this one with everyone. I found this movie to be incredibly boring. The set-up took forever, the romance was too short, and the ending was disheartening. It also dragged in the middle. It's a good idea--and actually a good story, the acting great, as well... Read full review »

Great Idea, Disappointing Movie

Pros The idea. Compelling, and a wonderfully fertile ground for good writing.
Cons Abysmal writing. Negatively reinforced by pointless plot resolution.
Recommended it? No

Like "Field Of Dreams," Hollywood has once again taken a wonderful "time-warp" concept and ruined it with a shoddy script. Poor Christopher Reeve is saddled with a goopy plot, awful writing, and a lightweight resolution. Rod Serling would have known what to do with the concept. Those who put this... Read full review »

The 1980 Jeannot Szwarc-directed film "Somewhere in Time", to this day, remains a cult favorite, highly regarded as one of the best romantic films ever made.

Recently my son, Flamepillar, did a review on the movie "Frequency" which deals with time-travel. At that time I suggested that he check out "Somewhere In Time". Although it is a romance, the concept of time-travel is integral to the story. Released 23 years ago in 1980, this film continues to this... Read full review »

There have been a lot of opinions written about this movie. There have been ample to explain to all of us what the general plot is all about.

Of all the movies I have seen that have involved romance, I think "Somewhere In Time" would be one of my favorites.

Somewhere in Time - 20th Anniversary Edition [VHS]

It's silly, it's superficial, it's so desperately earnest about its tale of time-spanning love that you almost wish for a cheap flatulence gag just to break the solemn mood. But there's something so unabashedly gushy and entertaining about Somewhere in Time that you can't begrudge its enduring popularity. The film has become a staple of romantic-movie lovers since its release in 1980, and endless showings on cable TV have turned it into a dubious classic of sorts--a three-hanky weeper that anyone can enjoy as a guilty pleasure or a beloved favorite, with no apologies necessary. In his first film after the star-making success of Superman, Christopher Reeve stars as a contemporary playwright who visits a posh hotel and sees the portrait of an actress (Jane Seymour) who had performed there in 1912. He becomes obsessed with this beautiful woman and learns all he can about her, and then discovers a method of hypnotically transporting himself backward in time to meet her. Is it ... you? she says upon seeing the lovestruck playwright, and it's clearly a mutual attraction. But even the slightest reminder of the playwright's modern time can jar him from his seemingly real existence in the past, so his wonderful love affair is constantly just a step from being stolen away. Based on Richard Matheson's novel Bid Time Return, this flaky film may strain one's tolerance for plot holes and corny romance, but it's hard to deny its lasting appeal--and let's face it, guys, it'll make wives and girlfriends swoon if they're in a tearjerker mood. --Jeff Shannon
