Film - The Time Traveler's Wife

Although a classic case of "the book was better," (read my review of the book HERE) the film version of "The Time Traveler's Wife" is not completely without merit. I like Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams, and they are given a huge pass by getting to play much more watered-down and likable versions of Audrey Niffenegger's characters. However, their like-ability comes at the price of depth. And they are not the only elements of the book that are sanitized. In the book, Henry's injury is much more severe, Clare faces even more difficulties with her attempts at conceiving a baby, the overall language is borderline caustic, and the ending is.... different.

As for the time-traveling itself, without having read the book the movie's explanations of Henry's "Chrono-Displacement Disorder" might be a hard pill to swallow.

If you've read the book, this would be a nice supplement to your reading experience. If you haven't, no need to see this film.
