Editorial Review: Product Description: Young writer richard collier is met on the opening night of his first play by an old lady who begs him to come back to me. Mystified he tries to find out about her and learns that she is a famous stage actress from the early 1900s elise mckenna... Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/27/2009 Starring: Christopher Reeve Teresa Wright Run time: 103 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Jeannot Szwarc Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Would you go across time for love?Wonderful. Bittersweet. I watched this movie several years ago and remember thinking it was the most unique love story I had ever watched. I enjoyed the film. Recently, I was explaining this "chick flick" to a guy and when I began to describe the ending, I started crying. Needless to say, we laughed but he became interested and I decided to purchase the movie to watch it again (with him). It is still a great film. I'm glad to have it on DVD! Rating: - ***Great Movie***Since I love both Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve this movie was worth buying...I am a hopeless Romantic..and this was just what the doctor ordered...Love it...and have watched it many times! Rating:  - A great time travel film, but with something missingPlaywright Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) wills himself back in time, when he becomes obsessed with an actress, Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour), who performed at the hotel in which he is staying, 68 years earlier. "Somewhere in Time" is a romantic drama that works well as both a romance movie and as a science fiction film. I am not a big fan of romances, but as a time travel film, "Somewhere in Time" interested me greatly. The script of this film is written by Richard Matheson, based ...
