Featured reviews
Forget the negative reviews and make your own mind. It's a beautiful movie that will touch your heart. Take my word on it. The performances are solid, the images are so beautiful and the story is so, so touching and inspiring.
This movie wasn't made just to be made. I believe many people needed to see this film, hence the reason it was created. Maybe for them to appreciate and validate the connection they have currently or have experienced in the past. Maybe this film will finally get someone to realize that the relationship that they're in isn't what's best for them, or just maybe this film was created to get you to believe that love is real and to understand the transformative power that it brings. I absolutely adored this film. The obsession with trying to fix the main problem by somehow trying to cheat him out of death, doesn't work no matter how hard she tries. The minute when she accepts and surrenders the answer comes. Press Play will teach you to value the now and to live in the present moment. It will teach you that we are all literally a decision away from a different life. Can we change fate? Maybe. Can we change our destiny? Maybe. Most importantly, what is meant to be, will always be. This movie shows us to stop, stand still, surrender, and get out of our way. I do believe that souls are constantly striving to find each other. Just the way that these characters were. They believed in love and loved each other in a way that was admirable and pure. My hope for everyone who is reading this review and has the opportunity to watch this movie, go in with an open mind, open heart, and no distractions. Let whatever message that is intended to come to you, do just that. Most importantly, don't stop believing on the love that is meant to find you and be yours. You may not get the opportunity to go back in time they way that she did, however, you'll be wiser for recognizing love and choosing not to let it go.
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.
