Yes, Yes, Yes.

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2016)

I watched this movie a few years ago and loved it. I walked in my classroom and my students were watching it and I insisted that it be transferred to my usb so I could watch it again. My friend came to visit me for Christmas and we went through several OK films and then I suggested we watch this one again. I'm glad I did. He enjoyed it as well.
This film evoked emotion on so many levels for me. The feeling of falling in love. The desire to be able to go back and change certain moments, however how small, is something we can all relate to. I have to say, I REALLY like Domhnall G. There is something so innocent and charming about him and I'd put his narration voice right on Mt. Rushmore next to James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman in regards to making the audience FEEL. Whoever wrote the lines he released from his mouth during his narration has a soul and it;s evident. I have always been a fan of Rachel McAdams and in spite of her ridic haircut in the beginning, I'd say she was equally charming but not as cute as she was in Wedding Crashers.
There were so many things that worked for me, but none more so than the relationship between father and son. I was reminded of my dad and the things we'd do together. The last 20 minutes of the film resulted in the juiciest of eyeballs for me, especially when they went for that one last walk and DG was a kid. Touching stuff. My friend remarked at the end..."That was good" and a day or so later told me that after watching the film, he knew it was time to go home. He lives in Shanghai and had made the decision to move back home to the USA after having taught overseas since 2008. This is my favorite film in the last decade or so, since Before Sunset/Sunrise.
