Some of Ms. Schaeffer's plot twists are easy to guess, but everyone's enjoyable to watch.

TiMER
Overview
When implanted in a person's wrist, a TiMER counts down to the day the wearer finds true love. But Oona O'Leary faces the rare dilemma of a blank TiMER. Her soul mate - whoever and wherever he is - has yet to have a TiMER implanted. Staring down the barrel of thirty and tired of waiting for her would-be life partner to get off the dime, Oona breaks her own rules and falls for Mikey, a charming and inappropriately young supermarket clerk with a countdown of four months.

TiMER never rises above the level of a sitcom. All that's missing is the laugh track.

The lukewarm female talk occasionally grates and the men are portrayed as mind-numbingly simplistic, but on the whole this cyber-Cupid exercise is surprisingly affecting.

Make time for this one.

A romcom is a romcom, however, and at least this one's more charming than most of Jennifer Aniston's career.
