Press Play

I mean there are humongous amounts of plot holes on the travel through time element but.. BUT.. it is still a (kind of) original romantic comedy, with really relative characters and very good acting without any political message that all's s out love through the perspective of 15 and 20 year olds.

Storyline is heavily inspired by the butterfly effect.

Vfx have been used on minimum and very cleverly so there is no distraction from the story

you can relate to the characters and you do actually see their relation growing. The film actually took it's time to make establish their relationship and thus made the second part even harder. The finale was both expected and foreshadowed through the film.

As jeremy would say (i hope) good time no alcohol required. Now i am going to copy and paste all these since amazon believes a review needs to be 600 words minimum and i don't have anything more to say apart of, if you like a classic love story with a hit of time travel you not going to be disappointed..

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.

Press Play is a delightful story of young love. There are reminiscences of The Lake House, a movie I loved. I enjoyed watching the two leads fall in love. The main plot device is unusual and played out in a very enjoyable way. Danny Glover is perfect in his role. The sound track is great. I really liked every song as they were woven into the plot. Press Play made me very happy. It's a fine "date night" film.

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.
