![]() TiMER is a good movie because it gives the audience a lot. ![]() And then she falls for Mikey (John Patrick Amedori), somebody else’s soulmate. Problem is, her timer hasn’t started yet, which means her soulmate hasn’t installed their timer yet. She’s a pragmatic romantic and had her timer installed, choosing to let technology/fate tell her who she should be with. Oona (Emma Caulfield) is the heroine of this film. This is not some dictatorship world where you are required to buy into pre-ordained fate, you can choose free will and live the life the way the audience in the real world does – not know what is just around the corner and find love on your own without some technological device telling you who to love. For the timer to work, both parties have to have theirs installed. Everybody’s path is different, perhaps you’ve already met your one true love, others have years until they meet the one, and others know that their soulmate is literally right around the corner. In the world of TiMER, people have timers installed in their wrists which count down to the moment you meet your soulmate. And now, here comes TiMER - smart, well-written, romantic and funny. The better ones add comedy and likable characters. The poor ones do it with horrible main characters and ridiculously unfunny contrived situations. Sure, all romantic comedies follow the same trend, cute girl wants to meet her soul mate. Finally our clocks have counted down and we have Jac Schaeffer's TiMER in our lives a fantastic romantic comedy has been brought into the world.
