directed by the same director of "the girl who leapt through time" (i didn'y know until googling for the soundtrack), the film is honest, funny, touching and successfully conveying universal family values to it's audience. these i realized was also what's good about the director's previous movie, and i have high hope for his third project. both movies have stand second and third viewing perfectly well, highly recommended.

Flat boring. I was going to say this is on par with Green Lantern and Thor, but actually both are slightly better.

short review : ^_^

this is a simple movie with unpretentious approach on a time travel theme. it's so refreshing to watch a movie with such innocence i can't help myself enjoying it every time.
