With the thinnest of plots -- a man's journey back through time to find a woman he once loved, in another life, in 1912 -- and the most threadbare characterizations, Somewhere in Time is nevertheless sweetly romantic, a lovely, pleasant but unchallenging diversion. These virtues are almost solely attributable to the two gorgeous stars; when their faces are in closeup (especially for one slow erotic kiss) it doesn't matter so much that the movie makes little sense.
