Mini-Review: I must confess I watched this movie only for Josh Radnor. After been watching HIMYM for years, I was really curious to see his movie and performance as a writer and producer. It reminds me "About a boy" in the beginning but Josh definitely has his own style. And I like his aspect of life, love and daily life details. Overall, I was very satisfied and look forward to more from him. More, please.
Mini-Review: If you wanna save your time and childhood dreams, I do not recommend this movie, or be prepared to be disappointed. However, it's clear that lots of scene and effects are designed for 3-D, my score would be much much better with it.
Mini-Review: I loved every-single-detail. Well-animated as usual, creative, the Ghibli trademarks, i.e. animals (cat!!!), nose forms, faces are well-known friends from other Ghibli movies, giving a feeling of comfort to me as a Miyazaki fan. I especially liked music in the end fit the movie incredibly well, it definitely gives the movie a bittersweet taste with a mixture of peace and sadness, so is life... Overall, not a Miyazaki masterpiece, but still a wonderful Ghibli movie and definitely re-watchable.
