This trailer opens, forcing you to suspend a big-ass chunk of disbelief: That Eric Bana is a time-traveler who meets his soul mate, Rachel McAdams when she's a kid, then later as an adult. They fall in love, marry, have a kid, the whole shebang. Only problem is that Bana can't control where and when he disappears into the time-traveling ether. He floats off as he and his new bride are honeymooning; he misses holidays. Wifey, of course, gets understandably frustrated. This trailer is perfect because it leaves us asking, "how did this happen? How does it all end?!"

Release date: Aug. 14

Chance of box office success: Strong, I think. August tends to be the month of the unexpected sleeper hit (see: The Sixth Sense), and the chemistry between Bana and McAdams could sizzle the celluloid. The trailer certainly makes you want to fill in its plot holes -- how? Wha--? Whyeee?!

Should you see it?: Yes, as long as you bring a box of Kleenex.
