【內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】
長(zhǎng)到21歲的時(shí)候，蒂·姆雷克(多姆納爾·格里森飾演)突然得知自己有穿越時(shí)空的能力……在和往年一樣不歡而散的年夜飯之后，蒂姆的爸爸(比爾·奈伊飾演)跟他坦誠(chéng)布公：我們這個(gè)家族的男人，生來就有著穿越時(shí)空的神力。蒂姆雖然不能改變歷史，但是他能夠改變自己生命中發(fā)生過的和將要發(fā)生的一些小事，所以他決定運(yùn)用自己的能力，讓生活變得美好——說白了他是希望給自己找一個(gè)女朋友。然而，這并非像他相信中那么容易。蒂姆從康沃爾海岸搬到了倫敦，受訓(xùn)成為律師，在這里他終于遇上了一位漂亮但不那么自信的姑娘，名叫瑪麗(瑞秋·麥克亞當(dāng)斯飾演)。兩人相愛了。然而一次“穿越”當(dāng)中，蒂姆不小心改變的一件小事就像像“蝴蝶效應(yīng)”一樣讓他在將來生活中沒有機(jī)會(huì)遇到瑪麗。通過一次又一次的嘗試，蒂姆一次又一次地和瑪麗相遇，他終于贏得了她的心……

I always knew we were a fairly odd family. First there was me. Too tall. Too skinny. Too orange. My mum was lovely, but not like other mums. There was something solid about her. Something rectangular, busy and unsentimental. Her fashion icon was the Queen.Dad, well, he was more normal. He always seemed to have time on his hands. After giving up teaching university students on his 50th birthday, he was eternally available for a leisurely chat or to let me win at table tennis. And then there was Mum's brother, Uncle Desmond. Always impeccably dressed. He spent the days just, well, being Uncle Desmond. He was the most charming and least clever man you could ever meet. His mind was on other things, though we never found out what. And then, finally there was Catherine. Katie. Kit Kat. My sister. In a household of sensible jackets and haircuts there was this, well, what can I call her, nature thing. With her elfin eyes, her purple T-shirts and her eternally bare feet, she was then, and still is to me, about the most wonderful thing in the world. All in all, it was a pretty good childhood. Full of repeated rhythms and patterns. By the time I was 21, we were still having tea on the beach every single day. Skimming stones and eating sandwiches, summer and winter, no matter what the weather. And every Friday evening, a film, no matter what the weather. And then once a year, the dreaded New Year's Eve party.
我向來感覺我們家很古怪， 第一個(gè)就是我。太高，太瘦，太黃。我媽是個(gè)美女，但跟其他媽媽們不同。在她身上固有的幾點(diǎn)：不落俗 套、忙碌以及從不感情用事。她的時(shí)尚教主是女王。我老爸呢…他更普通，他總是看起來很悠閑。50歲生日那天從大學(xué)離教之后，他就常常跟人閑聊，或是跟我打乒乓球，讓我狂贏他。然后便是我老媽的哥哥，德斯蒙德舅舅。他的穿著總是無可挑剔，他每天就是做他的德斯蒙德舅舅，他會(huì)是你見過的最帥最無腦的家伙，他的心思都在別的事情上，雖然我們從不知道是什么。最后一位就是凱瑟琳，凱蒂，我的妹妹，身穿居家服，發(fā)型總是這個(gè)樣子。我可以稱她為天然尤物，她的眼睛、紫色T恤，再加上 她永遠(yuǎn)都是光著腳，在我看來，她還是這世上最美好的東東?？偠灾赀€是很美好的， 循規(guī)蹈矩，日復(fù)一日。我21歲以前，我們每天都還在海灘上飲茶，打水漂，吃三明治。不管秋冬，不管風(fēng)雨，每周五晚上，都看部電影，不管刮風(fēng)下雨，還有就是每年舉辦一次令人生畏的新年派對(duì)。
