So-So Timeslip Drama with a Great Cast - From Time to Time review by PV
A great cast does not a great film make, but it can create a passable film which passes the time.
This is a timeslip story, way better than the awful ABOUT TIME by Richard Curtis.
Not sure I believe all the characters. and some real cartoon characters here esp the baddies, but also the black boy slave goodie which is pure shoe-horned in tickbox diversity quota. Very unlikely actually.
Reminds me of children;s film unit films they used to make in 1960s and 70s actually, searching for treasure, baddies etc. Like Scooby Doo really.
Meh, 3 stars.
