With quirky and amazing renditions of songs from Hiatus Kaiyote, Frank Ocean, and Beyonce to name a few, she developed a strong fanbase. She caught the attention of everyone with two working ears when she started posting song covers on her YouTube page. Curtis is a director who likes his spoonful of sugar, and isn't shy of breaking out Arvo PГ¤rt on the soundtrack to make sure we recognise the sad bits. Sabrina Claudio is a Miami-born and raised singer/songwriter.This is nearer to Sliding Doors than the dyspeptic Groundhog Day. Their relationship is, however, made fraught by Tim's secret superpower: he can travel back in time to any point in his own past, and correct his dopey mistakes, though creating new ones along the way. At 21, he leaves the family nest in Cornwall to take up his barrister pupillage in London and, yearning for love, meets Mary (Rachel McAdams), whose under-par frock and non-glam fringe can't deflect his and our appreciation of what a babe she is. Gleeson plays Tim, the shy son of eccentric, well-off parents (Bill Nighy and Lindsay Duncan).

But there are some nice gags and some ingenious narrative turns in Curtis's well-carpentered screenplay. All the traditional Curtis items are in place, including a jolly cast of upper-class folk, a wacky/vulnerable kid sister, characters who go into strange Curtis-speak under pressure ('Oh my arsing God in a box!'), and a Hugh-Grant-replicant leading man: 30-year-old Domhnall Gleeson sounds so much like the young Grant I suspected he'd been dubbed. Criticising it is like vivisecting a Labrador puppy. R ichard Curtis's film is a good-natured fantasy romance of such utterable daftness that it's impossible to dislike.
