Back to the Past with Gerard Butler

My brother was telling me that he’d recently watched a great romantic comedy with Gerard Butler, which intrigued me because he generally delves into that genre far less than I do. He told me the name of it, and I asked if that was the one where the poster has a woman with a chocolate box and Gerard Butler with a chocolate box over his crotch. He said that wasn’t it, and then I got to wondering what the name of that movie was. I looked it up and discovered it was “The Ugly Truth”, but then I looked further down the man’s filmography and found some captivating stuff. Like this movie called “Timeline” that was meant to be a vehicle for Paul Walker in the immediate wake of the first Fast and the Furious movie. It’s about an archaeological team that goes back to medieval France on a quest to rescue their professor. How could I turn that down? Even my brother couldn’t. Worthwhile watch.

Bonus Question!

Best medieval time travel film with French stuff?

“Just Visiting” with Jean Reno, which was apparently a remake of a French film Jean Reno did a few years earlier.
