"The Time Traveler's Wife" *1/2 (out of four): There's enough manipulative pap in "The Time Traveler's Wife" to make even Nicholas Sparks roll his eyes.

Before the book was released to the public in 2003, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston (in the pre-Brangelina days) saw its big-screen potential and scooped up the film rights. But somewhere from page to projector, something went horribly amiss.
