About Time
Movie (2013)
The night after another unsatisfactory New Year's party, Tim's father reveals to him that the men in their family have the ability to travel through time. They can't change history, but they can change what happens and has happened in their own lives. Thus begins the start of a lesson in learning to appreciate life itself as it is, as it comes, and most importantly, the people living alongside us.

Content at a glance
More filled segments mean stronger content.
Sex & Nudity
No nudity, but characters often talk about or think about sex, with couples shown in bed after presumed sex and a man using time travel to have sex several times in one night. A woman's naked breasts are visible in a photo art exhibit.
Violence & Gore
Physical harm is limited: a drunk driving accident that is not graphic, with scratches and bruises seen in the hospital. Some angry arguments and a few comic punches appear, and possible abuse by a boyfriend is alluded to but not shown.
Profanity
Language is very strong, with frequent use of "f--k," "s--t," and the phrase "oh my assing God," plus a middle finger gesture.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
The main character's sister has a drinking problem that she overcomes and is said to be in a relationship with a boyfriend who also drinks heavily. Characters generally drink socially, such as at dinner or a New Year's Eve party.
Frightening Scenes
The review describes no graphic or scary scenes; the drunk driving accident is noted as not graphic, and the sister's abusive relationship is described as alluded to rather than shown.
