TiMER

Set in a time when true love not only exists but is predictable, TiMER tells the story of Oona (Emma Caulfield), a single woman who spends her life searching for Mr. Right. Thanks to a scientific device attached to her wrist she’ll know when she’s found him because both her device and his will beep to each other when they meet. While waiting for that magical, if a little cold and scientific, moment to happen, Oona dates guys until she finds their TiMERs don’t match, then dumps them and moves on. Her search gets derailed, though, when she falls for a young musician who she can’t get out of her mind – or her bedroom – even though she knows there is no future for them. While it may start to feel a bit predictable at times, writer/director Jac Schaeffer does a great job of tipping the scales anytime the audience gets too complacent without relying on any of the usual Hollywood romcom clichés. The cast is top notch, too, particularly Caulfield as the woman who wants to believe in true love and Michelle Borth as her cynical, sassy and sexy stepsister.
