The Time Traveller's Wife might put you off the idea, however.

This flick is an unabashed romantic fantasy carried off with enormous charm and chemistry by its leads, Australian Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams.

Based on a novel, the film appeals to both the beauties and the geeks by mixing time travel into a good, old-fashioned love story.

Eric Bana plays a Chicago librarian, Henry DeTamble, who is doomed to criss-cross through time as a result of a rare genetic disorder.

Without warning he disappears into a pile of clothes and shows up naked in a public place just before another significant moment in his life.

At age 28 he falls in love with a 20-year-old artist, Clare Abshire (McAdams) and the two try and build a stable relationship as they cope with tension and challenges created by his frequent habit of vanishing without notice for lengthy periods.

The pair create a warm on-screen atmosphere that makes this far-fetched story believable.

Regular appearances of a very buff and butt-naked Bana will not only please the ladies but also help audiences navigate through its complex plot.

Bana's transformation into a charming romantic hero is light years away from his early roles of Chopper and the Hulk.

This film is a pleasant experience, which is as comfortable as chocolate melting in your mouth.
