With all the media coverage about the Wall Street protests, it was only a matter of time before the inevitable irony occurred.
Hollywood has decided to make a movie with a 'message' - people don't live past 25 years of age unless they work for their time. In essence, time becomes the new money. Cue poor Justin Timberlake getting in trouble, turning the system upside down and bagging the (absolutely gorgeous) Amanda Seyfried.
Aside from the fact I kept waiting for Timberlake to break into song, In Time's sincerity left me incredulous and amused. Seriously? Trying to jump on the OWS bandwagon and cash in on the protest mentality by making a (speculative) multi-million dollar budget movie criticising the very people who own the studio?
It's an unintentional meta-film.
I will say that Timberlake is getting better at acting, and also that I want Amanda Seyfried's outfits. They look good together on film, I didn't get bored.

| Love the haircut - can you believe this was the same wild-haired blondie in Mama Mia? Femme fatale much |
 |
| Seyfried wore similar heels for the duration of the movie unrealistic but cute |
 |
| Casual diet coke and glock |

| Smoulder |
It's worth watching on the big screen, even if only to see Seyfried tottering adorably on heels.
