Movie reviews Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel 
 
<strong>Movie Reviews</strong> this week looks at the science fiction comedy 
Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel.

It stars the hilarious Chris O'Doyd (The IT Crowd, something about him reminds 
me of the sidekick priest in father Ted), as Ray, a science geek, fresh from 
losing his job, who along with two of his best friends Toby and Pete played by 
Marc Wooton and Dean Lennox Kelly (Shameless) respectively, are discussing time 
travel, in their local pub one day as only nerds can.

As Ray goes off to the bar to order three pints, he comes back to his friends 
and tells them an unbelievable tale of having met a girl at the bar who tells 
him she is from the future, his friends laugh it off, assuming he is either 
pulling their leg, or she maybe a local stripper with an American accent. The 
girl Cassie played by the lovely Anna Faris (Scary Movie) is really from the 
future, and is here to fix a "Time Leak", apparently in the future agents can 
go back in time with their bodies hardwired with it's own time machine, and of 
course the usual rules of not interfering with the future still applies, so 
strict about going back and interfering in a historical event, that could wipe 
out several blood lines, such as going back to prevent World War II.

Of course Ray's friends don't believe a single word he says, until one of them, 
Pete, goes to the toilet, but on returning to the bar sees that everyone in the 
bar is dead, he runs back to the toilet, comes back out again and apparently he 
is back at the bar with his friends and everyone is still alive, he tells them 
the unbelievable story, and although they laugh it off, he suggests that for it 
to happen to them, i.e. for them to travel in time, they would have to go 
through the same motions he did, to witness the future, and follows a hilarious 
scene where they follow his exact movements, even down to the way he shakes his 
hands after using the toilet. They go back to the bar, apparently not noticing 
anything odd, until they are almost at their spot in the bar when to their 
amazement, they see themselves, sitting at the bar only moments earlier, 
discussing what they were talking about earlier.

It is an enjoyable movie, combining comedy from both sides of the Atlantic many 
will sure to enjoy.
