If there’s one thing you should do every holiday season, it’s sit down with friends, family or just by yourself and watch Love Actually. And if you find yourself disagreeing, go reevaluate some of your life choices. Just kidding, but Love Actually is one of the best romantic comedies of all time, while being one of the best Christmas movies of all time. Lucky for you, we are giving away a couple copies of the new 10th Anniversary Edition of Love Actually, in anticipation of About Time, a movie from the same writer/director.
About Time is a darling romantic comedy with a sci-fi twist that I recommend to everyone who loves Love Actually. In addition to winning Love Actually on Blu-Ray, you’ll also receive the About Time soundtrack, which features music from Ellie Golding and Ben Folds! You can enter to win these snazzy prizes later in the post; first, learn a little about the charming About Time.
ABOUT THE FILM
At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) discovers he can travel in time…
The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim’s father (Bill Nighy) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can’t change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life—so he decides to make his world a better place…by getting a girlfriend. Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as you might think.
Moving from the Cornwall coast to London to train as a lawyer, Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (Rachel McAdams). They fall in love, then an unfortunate time-travel incident means he’s never met her at all. So they meet for the first time again—and again—but finally, after a lot of cunning time traveling, he wins her heart.

Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic proposal, to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches and to save his best friend from professional disaster. But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can’t save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere. There are great limits to what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous, too.
About Time is a comedy about love and time travel, which discovers that, in the end, making the most of life may not need time travel at all.
