What a touching and endearing movie.

Loved it. A truly beautiful movie.

I was blown away by this movie... It had me smiling like a little kid at times, tears streaming down my face at others... the part where he realised he could never go back and see his dad every again had me bawling like a kid as it struck a chord with me for very personal reasons.

I hadn't even heard of it, read the blurb and took a chance as I like McAdams and Nighy but had never heard of the main character before.

It's hard to put into words how wonderful this film is, the first time you watch it is like a breath of fresh air, that first smell/taste of the sea as you near the coast after a long trip. It's a powerful love story with a sci-fi twist that is just accepted as fact, so much that the whole time travel element of it is glossed over as something that simply happens... it's sci-fi only in the fact that time travel is part of the story... This is a love story through and through and I found it utterly endearing.

However... what makes it so wonderful is also it's achilles heel. For me at least, it's repeat viewing value is extremely limited. You will never get that joyful feeling when watching it for the second time, in the same way that watching the Sixth Sense, or Seven Pounds...once it's over the entire meaning of the movie once known and seen cannot be recreated.

That it's it's greatest achievement and failure at the same time... and I for one am saddened by that. A movie that gave me such pleasure and pain and left me feeling good in the end... can never do that again.

It's that one thing that stops me giving this movie a perfect 10.

Why are you still reading this... go and watch it now.

This movie is simple perfect. The first time I watched it was out of curiosity thinking it to be another romcom. But the ending took me by surprise. Never thought a romcom would have a message. Now it's my go to feel good film. It just warms your heart every single time.

I have seen it 3 times, and the 3 times made me cry

Just a beautiful story and a lovely film. It's a rom-com, sure, but it also makes you appreciate all of your loved ones - a very special film.

It also introduced me to the quite fantastic song "Il Mondo" by Jimmy Fontana. I'll forever be grateful.

It is a little heavy-handed in a couple of spots so I cannot say it is perfect. But it's pretty damned close.

9/10

I never like slow movies with romantic genres but this movie just filled my heart with the happiness.

A perfect movie. (I've said that twice this past week as I've revisited some of my favourites films.) This is more than a love story about blossoming love (Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams), there are a wide variety of love stories in this, not the least of which is that of a father and his son (Bill Nighy and Domhnall). Lovely supporting cast. Great performances. Beautiful and textured writing. Exceptional music. Life affirming moments and profound words side by side with the humour of life. I've watched this many times (and even, accidently, bought two digital copies). I give this film a 10 (perfect) out of 10. [Unconventional Drama about Love]. As a matter of fact, I think I'll watch it again, right now.

Almost didn't finish because it didn't capture my attention at first, but very glad I did. Rest assured the entire film doesn't focus on his relationship with Rachel McAdams like another time-traveling movie. Lots of moments with sweet humor between multiple characters in the story. Definitely worth watching if you have two hours to spend.

Really good movie and original scenario.
