This is a movie about A man that travels back in time to meet the woman he is in love with.
This is my mom's favorite movie. Everytime I watch it with her I end up falling asleep so I always thought it was boring. But I actually watched it all the way through and it's a really good movie. Plus a young Christopher Reeves is yummy! lol
Christopher Reves is really yummy I agree. lol
