Press Play

I first saw Clara Rugaard in I am Mother. I thought for her age she turned in a great performance, especially being the only other human in the film except for the fabulous Hilary Swank.

I've not seen her since so when her name was on the credits of this film I decided to give it a go.

The result is that Clara needs a much better director to thrive as an actor. The story is great I love it, but the direction and sound track is appalling. Also I felt that the dialogue for 2 people so much in love was rather weak, and the leading man was a weak actor although that also could be attributed to poor direction.

There was a chance here to make a great film, and allow Dugaard to shine as a great actor, neither happen un fortunately but I gave it a 5 for Dugaard trying hard anyway.

I should make it clear it is still a watchable film and I did enjoy it.

Well you'll understand better once you watch - or read the synopsis I reckon(?) - still no pun intended as always. The question is would you also do what our main character does? We are thrown into the mix and we learn quite quickly what the movie tries and is giving us here - story but also theme wise.

It is based on love - or grounded within it. What we would do for it - what we would change and if there is any impact to our actions (do you believe in destiny). We do get quite a few romantic movies that also have some weird twists - I reckon just to mix things up and make them interesting. And I like that - makes it less predictable - even though they are overall ... predictable. Going back and forth ... this may feel a bit overwhelming and can dry you up ... but it also can be fun to watch ... it's up to you.

I Loved this movie, it was touching and sweet, had a bit of sci-fi magic in it and I love stuff like that, super romantic, and yes, to gain you got to lose. The main character did a good job IMO, I liked that they didnt have to go into great details about a lot of things, yes, some plot holes, but a good vibe and good ending. Moral of the story, enjoy the love and life you have, might not get a second chance.

I dont know what else to say, but it is making me write more, lol, so i guess I will think of some more things to say

fyi: very PG-13. Nothing graphic or terrible in this

Her Asian friend is good in this also

Danny Glover is good.

As someone who had a fiance' that died 18 years ago and is still dealing with the pain, I wanted to like this movie so bad. Anyone who has lost a loved one would give anything to have to see them again, even for a moment. I guess I should not have had such high hopes for it.

The premise is cool. Although any old head who had cassettes knows about the B side and how that works.

Aside from that. Idk who the lead girl was but she had the emotional range of a leaf. The guy and girl had no chemistry and it was hard to believe they even fell in love. I know it's a 1.5 hour movie and showing that kind of passionate love could be tricky in a short time frame but it can be done. Plus I was highly distracted by the main guys Adam's apple. That thing did better acting than the two leads.

I wanted more for this movie but it just didn't cut it.

So at the beginning the story is (almost) pretty normal.

Laura,a talented painter,meet Harrison,who's working at a record store.

They fall in love, he teach her how to surf, she shows him her painting.

Pretty normal,right?

BUT.

Even if the movie is (apparently) set in present day, they star to make a mix tape.

Yep,that thing that we born before internet or mp3 used to do on music cassette.

They don't make a spotify playlist or something like that.

Nope,they record songs on a music cassette.

It's kind of weird but nice,i guess?

Well,that the "plot device" that the movie use.

Because when he tragically dies, she discover that when she listen to that mix tape she can travel trough time.

And she can try to save him.

I will not tell you where the movie goes from there,but you should know that it shows how time travel can mess up your ad others lives.

Overall a pretty good movie, not a masterpiece but a nice story with a lot of heart.
