I'll Remember April

The cover of the movie bothers me a lot because Haley Joel Osment is NOT the leading role in this movie, and they just had to stick his face on it. The real star is TREVOR MORGAN!!!!!!

Who has been in The Patriot, JP3, The Sixth Sense (as the bully), and The Glass House, and currently he is in the Rookie.

SO give this kid credit! He is brilliant!

Overall, I'll Remember April was sweet and a really great movie! It is wonderful for the family...You'll love it!

I bought I'll Remember April on DVD off Amazon without ever seeing it or talking to anyone who had! It was a big risk but I was very pleasently surprised by this movie! The acting was wonderful, Trevor Morgan really did a wonderful job and was very believable! A really good movie to watch as a family, it has funny moments, sad moments and a very good moral lesson! It can be enjoyed by kids as young as 5 and adults as old as 100!

Interesting indie that barely got released anywhere (and probably was slapped crudely onto disc to capitalize on the sudden fame of one of it's juvenile players...despite being the focus of cover art and billing Haley Joel Osment has a supporting role...and looks to be a bit younger and a LOT blonder than he was in "The Sixth Sense" and he is NOT prominently featured here.).

Well meaning and at times moving depiction of broken lives of about to be interred American born Japanese descended citizens is rather uncomfortably with far fetched fantasy of 4 boys becoming best buddies with a wounded and stranded Japanese sailor. Some very good work from a surprisingly strong cast hints that this could have been a quite interesting film with a better detailed script and a much bigger budget...(the film as it stands seems about four fifths finished with a temp track score and a very strangely shot ending).

If you do pick it up on disc as a curio (thank you for offering it DAEDELUS BOOKS!) I would strongly advise NOT watching the trailer before seeing the film...It gives away about ninety per cent of the plot!

Film brings to life a very bad point in our history, the internment of Americans of Japanese descent. Excellent performances by all 4 kids also showed that not all soldiers on the enemy side were monsters. It could have used a *LITTLE* balance (e.g. references to the atrocities being committed that caused the sentiment that the film shows), but the point made in the film was quite valid regardless. Recommended.

The actors in this film were all perfect for this roll. I came across the movie from Pat Morita (watching his last Karate Kid film). When I saw his name on "I'll Remember April", I checked out of who all was on it. WOW,what a cast and the story I saw today. Those Four kids were outstanding plus of all they did to that wounded Japanese solider. I saw this movie earlier this morning. I was blown away! So 1-10 I couldn't go for a perfect 10 but 8 is very good. If you have not seen this movie you should, if you have the tubi movie sight, it is free but just a few ads during the movie....but there is no cut outs for the movie
