Pleasant Surprise

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2014)

What a pleasant surprise this movie was. When I saw this film advertised it went straight into the I would rather not pile. This negative first reaction was because of how it was advertised. It was advertised as a movie about boy loves a girl and the girl doesn't know he exists. That movie you've seen a million times. Upon watching this film I was utterly astonished it could be so badly represented. It was funny and poignant in a way that was honest. It feels sincere like a handwritten letter. There is so much more to this movie than just the clichÃ©. If you take the time to watch this film you will not regret it. It's quirky but just enough. It finds a lovely balance between comedy and drama. It is not really about time travel, it's about life. It's about the important lessons everyone learns along the way. Each person's choices are unique as are the paths they take through life. This film shows you one man's choices and the path he makes for himself.
