You don't tear up from this one, You're a heartless sack of... well u know. It reminds me of old Hollywood. Perfect storytelling and bright colors😁

Of course 95% of reviewers will pan this film since it dares to speak of faith and hope. It will send shivers down their spines. So it must be pretty good, right? Right. The viewer joyfully enters into the mind of a little boy who yearns for the return of his father from WW II. He is struck by the words in a sermon that speaks of the power of faith to work even the miraculous, and takes it to heart. What follows is extraordinary. Besides the beauty of the evolving story, we are also given a great re-creation of a small town in the 1940's, from clothing to homes to automobiles. No reviewer has mentioned it, but the acting is superb all around. This is a classy film that will endure and will lift the spirits and hearts of those who enter into its special and uplifting world.

I took my kids to see this while it was still in the theaters, and we all loved the movie. However, the miracles and tolerance lectures were so prominent that even my children thought it was a bit sappy. The story is great, and you can't help but get a little choked up over the "Little Boy's" love and faith. So, if you go into the movie knowing that it is very moral-focused movie, you'll probably enjoy it a lot more than we did. It was also great to see Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa again. He did the most justice to his character, and seemed to pull real emotion from the young Jakob Salvati.

One of the best motivating movies. I love the little boy, the mother, the father, the brother, Mr. Hashimoto, etc. They are all great. Thank you

This is a great movie. I can't believe people who unlikes it do it because, they say, it's a religious movie. No sir, it's not. You've got to be a little more open minded. The film wants us to see lots of things. The existence of the Japanese man, clearly, is for the atheists. So why do you complain? The father is alive, yes, but not because of the little boy, not because the father's will. It's just because life is sometimes random. It's not the point. The movie just wants to show how far love can go. In this case, the love of a little boy about his father. End of the story. Thank you very much for reading!

This movie made me feel like an A-hole for being an American.

So we were at school, and the entire 7th grade had to watch this film. After the film was finished, most of the people watching were crying a bit. This movie was beautiful, heart-wrenching, funny, and empowering. We never expected the film to be THAT nice but it turned out that it did. I loved its message about faith and though it may have been shown in a bit of a Christian way, it still speaks to people of all religions about faith and never giving up. I love how the little boy is able to stand up for himself despite being little. I also loved the setting of the film, which was in the sunny, seaside town of O'hare, California. I also loved its vintage feel. 100% recommended.
