Richard Curtis has mastered the secret sauce recipe for a successful romantic comedy. Over the years he's cooked up all the feels in hits like 2003's Love Actually, 1999's Notting Hill, and 1994's Four Weddings and a Funeral. Full of wit, charm and dry British humor, his films possess a heartfelt sincerity that leave a lasting impression on millions of moviegoers.
Adding a bit of fantasy to his sauce, Curtis wrote and directed 2013's About Time. Domhnall Gleeson stars as Tim, an awkward man whose father rocks his world on his 21st birthday by explaining an extraordinary family secret. Like his father, Tim is able to travel through time, changing the events of his life. When he falls in love with Mary, played by romcom fave Rachel McAdams, this newfound ability seems to be working in his favor — but his powers can be trickier than he's often able to understand at first, and even backfire, often taking his life to some tragic places. Don't worry, though: in the end, Curtis' protagonists always redeem themselves and their circumstances, leaving audiences with all the feels.
