If only bar trips here were as much fun as this trios trip to the pub. A quirky sci fi comedy that throws all the time travel mix ups out there. Its a fun romp wont be disappointed if you dont expect some hollywood blockbuster.
Anna Faris, Chris O'Dowd, Marc Wootan, Dean Lennox Kelly
After cutting his teeth on a number of television projects for the BBC, director Gareth Carrivick makes his feature debut with this off-beat sci-fi comedy. A normal trip to the pub turns into anything... read more

Brilliant on all levels. With a great cast and a fantastic story, Carrivick made a funny and involving film that captures you from the beginning and keeps ahold of you well after the film has finished. With a bigger budget it would most certainly have been better and more imagina... read more

A brilliant concept wasted by silly mistakes, inexperience and probably a tight budget. A great film but it should have been something amazing. Give it a go though, it's a lot of fun!

If SHAUN OF THE DEAD was an British primer in dealing with zombies, then FAQ ABOUT TIME TRAVEL is a British primer in dealing with the conundrums and paradoxes of time travel. Three nerds (two of them sci-fi fans) discover a portal to the past, present and future in the Gents in ... read more

The idea was quite good but the result was so dissapointing. I love British humour and in fact Chris O'Dowd is hillarious in the IT Crowd. But this is a film full of holes in the script, lazy acting and unsipired direction.

I liked the concept a lot, and I love, love, love Chris O'Dowd, but the movie feels mostly flat and unfunny. A couple of chucky and inspired moments are lost in a sea of forgetfulness.

Nerdy B-movie that both sci-fi geeks and non sci-fi geeks will like. It's a bit anti-climatic, but then again it's a B-movie. Don't expect anything too amazing, it's good for a laugh or three.

I'd head this described as shaun of the dead meets time travel. And since the release of shaun of the dead, I've also grown increasingly tired of hearing that comparison. Shaun of the dead doesn't mean british comedy with a genre element, it means that 'and' an aspect of genius. ... read more

There are some good ideas, but I was disappointed not to get an ending that pieced everything together into a satisfying chain of events. The film provokes questions, all right, but too many are left ... Full Review
Through no particular fault of the performers, it is pointless, perfunctory and painfully unfunny. Full Review
Overcoming a limited budget with imagination and charismatic characters, it's a minor miracle to see a British movie take on a subject matter monopolised by Hollywood and emerge on level terms. Full Review
A good effort, but ultimately one that may have been more suited to a TV special than a fully-fledged feature, FAQ... is like that geeky friend you really want to like - if only they'd sort out their ... Full Review
An undercooked, rapidly unravelling script, low-grade production values (is that the best future costume you have?), plodding direction and an apologetically crap ending are not worth the price of a c... Full Review
While it doesn't quite achieve the same standards as its recent forebears in British genre comedy, this modest film has amiable, convoluted charm. Full Review
Refreshingly, director Carrivick's feature debut is both dark, compelling and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny. Full Review
While hardly groundbreaking, this is smart, amusing post-pub viewing. Full Review
