I wrote a lengthy review about how this movie treats time-travel with a bit more respect than most film, but I went back in time, erased it, and wrote this crap.
Have you ever wondered what Doctor Who (the Steven Moffat episodes) would look like with a bit of Shaun of the Dead-esque humor? Well, look no further than the FAQ About Time Travel.
I went into this not knowing anything about it other than it starred Chris O'Dowd and that it probably had some time travel. I certainly was not disappointed. If you need a little more convincing in order to check this out yourself, just know that it's about 3 friends who discover time travel in a pub. It takes it's sweet time in the beginning, admittedly, but as soon as Pete (Dean Lennox Kelly, aka the guy who played Shakespeare on Doctor Who) starts singing Total Eclipse of…
I heard this randomly mentioned in a Bert Kreischer podcast and what a fucking GEM. A British time travel comedy, somewhat in the vein of SOTD. Taking place entirely at a bar, 3 friends go on a pretty hilarious journey within said bar and I was just eating this shit up. I’m a huge fan of Chris O’Dowd from The IT Crowd and the other 2, who I wasn’t familiar with, were funny as well. This shit had me cracking up, to a point where I was excited to see where it goes, and it just kept finding creative ways to keep things moving. Anna Faris has a fun role too.
I couldn’t find much on this director, but Thank you Gareth Carrivick(RIP) for giving me this Cult Comedy Gem to endlessly enjoy. 8.4/10🍺
Three friends considered film geeks,
Think Hollywood has gotten bleak.
Since they know better,
They write a letter,
And are thrown into a Time Leak.
Little bit weird, but ummm... turns out everybody in the future, American.

A time travel movie I can completely identify with. No matter what time they go to, they never leave the pub. I would get behind that plan. It's like watching a lazy Dr. Who. At one point they think that the time travel could be triggered by a series of events that include peeing while singing Total Eclipse Of The Heart. Brilliant.
I had never heard of this film before and flicked it on in the middle of the night by accident. As a result, I am having difficulty deciding whether it is actually a good film or if I only immensely enjoyed it because I am a sucker for time travel.
Either way, it was funny and I bloody love a good time paradox. I feel like I connected with it on a spiritual level. These are my people.
Terminally bland. Wish it was worse, just so there would be something to say about it. It went back in time and removed any impression from my brain, like it never existed.
I think I'm all burned out on time travel now.
There's been a lot of that in the last month and a bit and Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel almost put me over my tolerance levels. But at the very least it did perhaps solve one problem, or almost solve it at least.
I was talking on Twitter recently about people I like in films who are never in anything good and the name Anna Faris was quite central to this discussion. She's a delight but she doesn't choose well, does she? I suppose now with Lost In Translation, May and this under her belt, she's just about done enough to ease herself out of that category. Only just,…
It’s seems like they tried really hard to be like an Edgar Wright movie, but didn’t quite get there. It does have its funny moments, but the plot wasn’t groundbreaking or anything and it wasn’t very memorable.
Admirably short, intriguingly loopy, intermittently charming, frequently obnoxious.
