Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Pro: She escapes her marriage and her abusive husband and gets a second chance with her brainy but absent-minded high-school boyfriend.

Con: Kyle is a cardboard villain who gets tiresome fast.

The time travelling turns into mind transferring somehow, followed by forgetting everything. The result is more magic than science.
