It's silly, it's superficial, it's so desperately earnest about its tale of time-spanning love that you almost wish for a cheap flatulence gag just to break the solemn mood. But there's something so unabashedly gushy and entertaining about Somewhere in Time that you can't begrudge its enduring popularity. The film has become a staple of romantic-movie lovers since its release in 1980, and endless showings on cable TV have turned it into a dubious classic of sorts--a three-hanky weeper that anyone can enjoy as a guilty pleasure or a beloved favorite, with no apologies necessary.
In his first film after the star-making success of Superman, Christopher Reeve stars as a contemporary playwright who visits a posh hotel and sees the portrait of an actress (Jane Seymour) who had performed there in 1912. He becomes obsessed with this beautiful woman and learns all he can about her, and then discovers a method of hypnotically transporting himself backward in time to meet her. "Is it ... you?" she says upon seeing the lovestruck playwright, and it's clearly a mutual attraction. But even the slightest reminder of the playwright's modern time can jar him from his seemingly real existence in the past, so his wonderful love affair is constantly just a step from being stolen away.
Based on Richard Matheson's novel Bid Time Return, this flaky film may strain one's tolerance for plot holes and corny romance, but it's hard to deny its lasting appeal--and let's face it, guys, it'll make wives and girlfriends swoon if they're in a tearjerker mood. --Jeff Shannon

If you are/were a fan of Christopher Reeves, you will enjoy this movie. It's a romance with mystery. Love eternal over the decades. The Future meets the past and the past wins. A good story with great acting.

For those of you like me that are sticklers on anamorphic widescreen, do NOT buy this DVD. It is the old "letterbox" format, which means you will have a small picture on any wide screen tv, with black bars all the way around. Zooming in on this, of course, results in a very poor picture quality. And they call this a "Collector's Edition" -- what a joke. I only gave it 2 stars instead of one because I like the movie so much.
When will we get a true widescreen version, or better yet, blu ... Read More

First watched this movie about twenty years ago and it has remained my favorite movie ever since.
Christopher Reeve's and Jane Seymour's acting is this movie has to be one of the best I have seen.
This movie never ceases to make me cry.

This was a gift purchase for my parents. They loved this when it first came out and I wanted them to have it to watch as they are both now retired. I love it as well and have a copy.
