    Disappointed

    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.

    Poor direction is the only thing wrong with this 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.

    really good

    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.

    middle is slow

    Laura (Clara Rugaard) falls for Harrison (Lewis Pullman) who works at a record store. Store owner Cooper (Danny Glover) has put up all the lost mixed tapes on the wall. Harrison makes his own mixed tape for Laura. After a tragedy, Laura discovers that the mixed tape can time travel and she tries to fix history.

    The concept is good, but there isn't enough material for a full length movie. The movie is already short and the middle drags. Once the first time travel fails, all the other failures become repetitive. That's the slow part. This is a Twilight Zone episode for about forty minutes. The story needs another layer. The ending is poetic and that saves the movie.

    butterfly effect but in a more romantic tone

    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..
