When I saw the trailer for this movie my initial thoughts were "Now there is a good romantic movie sure to twist and manipulate my heartstrings. I can't wait!" I hate being disappointed by something that seems so easy (seriously, commercials make me cry). I think I actually did get choked up once, but I don't remember what it was about and it definitely wasn't anything central to the story. Anyway, the basic premise is, guy travels back and forth within his own lifetime (yes, just like Quantum Leap and Journeyman). That's pretty much it. This traveling means he knows who he's going to marry and how he's going to die and what his daughter's name will be, etc. The key idea here is what it means to know one's destiny. That should introduce all sorts of interesting questions and ponderings, but TTTW just doesn't care. They'd rather whine about how much it sucks that he travels and that he can't control it, which really emphasizes how stupid it is to whine about. It isn't a terrible movie, I found it reasonably well put together, I just didn't feel like it accomplished anything it was really set up to satisfy. I walked out feeling moderately entertained, but rather more significantly disappointed.
