This quirky romantic comedy is about a new found way to find love in the modern world. Just imagine if there was a device that could pinpoint the exact moment and person that you would spend the rest of your life with. Would you buy it? Meet the TiMER, an electronic device that is literally impaled into your wrist and counts down the days, hours, and minutes until you meet "the one." When you make eye contact with your destined love one, the device chirps.
Meet Oona (Emma Caufield) and her step-sister Steph (Michelle Borth). They each had the device put on their wrist at the age of consent, 14 (just when puberty begins to peak). Oona's Timer reads blank because her "one' has yet to purchase a timer and Steph's Timer reads 14 years into the future. So for them, they personally feel screwed by the entire process. So much so that Oona becomes obsessed with finding the one and making sure that each person she dates, she subsequently takes to the TiMER store to have one implanted. Steph is the opposite. She knows that she will meet the "one" in her future, but chooses to fill the void of the 14 years she is facing by sleeping with random men.
It is a cute and funny movie that really drums the message that love is the only deciding factor when it comes to meeting your soul mate.
I give it a 7 out of 10.
Next up is "Texas Killing Fields."
