I love this movie so much

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I was actually genuinely enjoying this film. It was challenging notions of true love in a way that was actually challenging - if you met someone and fell in love, would you give up true love for them? Steph isn't going to meet anyone any time soon and has decided to take a chance with Dan. Oona is delaying living her life because of the possibility that at any moment, her time could suddenly change. They both decide together to get their timers removed, inspired by someone who is absolutely certain the person she is with isn't her "one" and simply no longer cares. I think the movie should have ended there. Mikey even says it: our lives should have a little bit of mystery. Everything suggested that the movie was going to end there. And then Prince Charming comes waltzing in and devastates three people's romances. But it's okay, because they're "destined to be together."This movie fails on a comedy level because of the serious twist ending, it fails on a romance level because there is nothing romantic about the meeting of any person with a timer we see. I as an audience member was rooting for Mikey and Oona, I was rooting for Steph and Dan. And then to have those relationships shunted to the side just because that wasn't the true path means I just wasted my time watching these people waste their time.I have a lot of questions that this movie throws in the air and then doesn't answer. How many people's timers have suddenly stopped working because the other person got the timer removed? Is there just a craigslist out there of people looking for people who got their timer's removed? What happens if someone's "the one" has died before they met? Do they qualify to be a "the one" then? What about the fact that Oona is a child of a "doomed" relationship? If Oona had never been born because her dad had never been with her mom, would Dan have wound up with Steph instead? Or would he just have never had a "the one?" All the couples we see are roughly the same age, but if this is based just on chemistry, isn't it possible there could be some really uncomfortable pair-ups? People with language barriers? People with age differences? What's gonna happen when her dad meets "the one?"This movie could have said something really progressive about the problematic nature of serial monogamy. Instead, as far as this movie is concerned, you really are wasting your life on every romantic encounter you have until you meet "the one" and no matter who they are or whether your sister is also in love with them, you have an obligation to yourself to chase after them. I feel hollow and frustrated and disappointed now.

The ending to this movie was such a let down. The message is conformity and mindlessness, not to mention disloyalty and self-centered behavior. Wow, what a way to spread the message. I think I'll go read "1984" again. If you want to see an example of a movie that took a startling negative view on independence without seeming to be aware of it this is the one for you. It's actually kind of frightening what the writer and director seemed to think was an acceptable ending. The main character's little show of bravado at the end was useless since she had already capitulated and willingly followed what an electronic pulse dictated over mind/heart. Very disturbing.By the way if your wondering why I watched it in the first place my 20 year old daughter asked me to because she liked it. After she heard my review of it...not so much anymore.

Oona (Emma Caulfield) lives in the near future. During the last decade, a company has come out with a "surefire" method for gals and guys to find their soulmates. It implants a "timer" around the wrist, like a permanent piercing, which counts down to the moment your true love enters your life. Oona and her sister Steph (Michelle Borth) have the devices, because the firm guarantees an 80% success rate. But, there are problems. Steph's timer says her soulmate is years away. This makes her go for one night stands with a variety of men, for she doesn't want to have any romantic attachments but also refuses to forgo intimate pleasures. At last she casts her eye on a handsome widower, Brian (Scott Holroyd). Oona is even more unhappy, for her timer has no countdown, indicating her true love has not GOTTEN a timer yet. So, when she meets eligible men, she asks them to get a timer, if they don't have one already, and hopes for the best. No luck so far, as the two devices are supposed to beep in unison if its the genuine article. This not only befuddles her overbearing mother (JoBeth Williams) but the attractive grocery cashier, Mikey (John Patrick Amedon) who wants to date Oona. What's a poor futuristic gal to do? This is quite an unusual romantic comedy, being a sci-fi entry, but oh, is it satisfying and lovely. As one can expect, the essence of true love is dissected and turned upside down. Is there only one soulmate for each of us, as Plato suggested? As of 2012, it doesn't seem so. But, there is an awful lot of divorces, too! Caulfield is beautiful and touching as the main character, with all of the others supporting her very nicely. Sets, costumes, photography and direction work for success. As for the script, its far-out romantic fun! My advice? Set the timer on the stove for no more than five minutes, then hop in your car to go find the best place to snag a DVD.

Its time for producers of Hollywood blockbusters to stand up and take notice! Emma Caulfield makes this movie. Her comic timing is perfect. She is light and bright and shows just the right amount of depth for this part.She has soooo much more talent and comic ability than big names like Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts. They've become so big they've forgotten how to be the character in the movie. These ladies show up and put in uninspired performances - I hestitate to even call them performances. Their movies have become "Julia Roberts stands in front of the camera saying some lines". In Eat, Pray, Love, Julia Roberts was humdrum and boring and ordinary. Resting on her laurels. And honestly, Jennifer Aniston never had Emma Caulfield's comic talent or depth.Emma Caulfield pulled me into her character - she was totally believable - this is the kind of acting I watch movies for. She actually made an effort and the result is fresh, fun, heartening, entertaining! I want to see more of her.
