Is it Too Early to Call for a Remake of 'The Time Traveler's Wife'?new
Wife is the kind of film that inspires discussion, one that's ripe with possibility and poignant symbolism, but that's a credit to Audrey Niffenegger's tale, not the film. Everything that director Robert Schwentke and screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin bring to the table is a by-the-numbers detriment.

'The Time Traveler's Wife' Burns Up in Space
Amy McAdams and Eric Bana are easy enough on the eyes to distract from the script's Grand Canyon-sized plot holes, but not enough to keep your mind off the insipid storytelling. Even from its gooey sentimental standpoint, The Time Traveler's Wife is two pints short of a gallon.
