| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinDespite its far-fetched premise Jac Schaeffer's debut feature has a surfeit of low-budget, high-concept indie charm and an adorable lead in Emma Caulfield |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerWhile sex and science fiction make for strange bedfellows, TiMER takes up this peculiar but intriguing hybrid challenge, perfecting product predictability in romance in a consumer society already fixated on a warranty for nearly everything else in life. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonJac Shaeffer plays around with the ideas of time and relationships like a malevolent matchmaker, finding plenty of laugh-out loud laughs in the process. |
| Dork ShelfShelagh Rowan-LeggA romantic comedy (with a dash of science fiction) that will certainly appeal to single women, the film is very original in concept, if not so much in execution. |
| Metromix.comGeoff BerkshireFor all its low budget shortcomings, TiMER has a scruffy charm you just can't buy. |
| Time OutStephen GarrettThe lukewarm female talk occasionally grates and the men are portrayed as mind-numbingly simplistic, but on the whole this cyber-Cupid exercise is surprisingly affecting. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerTiMER is not only predicated on a ridiculous premise, but one with a surprisingly muddled message. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisA romcom is a romcom, however, and at least this one's more charming than most of Jennifer Aniston's career. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoTiMER never rises above the level of a sitcom. All that's missing is the laugh track. |
| User ReviewMadeleine MSurprisingly good! I wasn't expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised by this mix of sci-fi and rom-com. The premise sounds shaky but it's handled well and ends up creating a thought provoking tale that doesn't end all tied up in a pretty little "and they all lived happily ever after" scene. It's poignant and messy and horribly unfair... a lot like real life... but funnier. |
