First, I have to say, this movie was much better than the last movie Rachel McAdams was in where she fell in love with a time traveler. That's mostly due to Domhnall Gleeson and Bill Nighy.
Tim and all the men in his family have the ability to time travel, but only to the past and within their own timelines. They can't travel to the future, because that would be silly. He uses his miraculous talent for love - love for Rachel's character Mary, love for his eclectic purple-loving sister Kit Kat, love for his ginger children, and love for his father. He can use his ability to relive the same day over and over again if he wished, or he can go back to correct a mistake like offending a lesbian, which can come in pretty handy. He later realizes he doesn't have to use time travel, he just has to live every day appreciating the little things to be happy.
I enjoyed this movie; Bill Nighy's wit, Domhnall's heartfelt performance, and Kit Kat's personality kept me watching 'till the end. I even came to care about Tim so much, that I was scared he was going to mess everything up with the careless use of his powers!
