Summary: I would have liked to have seen the whole movie
Review: I purchased this movie because the synopsis on the box captured my interest. I thought it was supposed to be a family movie and we all sat down to watch it. For those who do care about language quality, you should be aware that this is not a children's movie. We did not watch the whole movie, even though we were enjoying it. After the third instance of foul language, I returned it to the store. This movie should be rated PG. NOT RATED does not mean FOR GENERAL AUDIENCES.

Summary: Will the real Hollywood please stand up
Review: So once in awhile you come across a heartfelt labor-of-love movie that really makes you think twice about all those effect-ridden hollywood schlops the studios force feed us to feed their pockets. This is it. "I'll Remeber April" features a brilliantly crafted story by writer Mark Sanderson and is brought wonderfully to life by an amazing cast including Mark Harmon, Pam Dawber & Haley-Joel Osment. Pat Morita and Trevor Morgan add terrific heart to this often forgotten period in our history where Japanese interment camps effected even small town america as fear got the best of almost everyone. When you see this movie you find yourself thinking "this really happenned". You find yourself asking if you would react the same way, what would you do. Director Bob Clark says in the DVD commentary the budget was only $1.8mm. I sure hope hollywood takes note because obviously every penny was spent to ensure the emotion of the film was not lost. Mark Sanderson has a gift for not only adult dialog but also childrens dialog making this story appealing to all ages and believable on all levels. A huge thumbs up--buy it--rent it--own it---it will open your eyes to what a real box office movie is all about.

Summary: Amazing story for amazing actors
Review: This movie is unbelievable, i'm french i watched it, and oh my god!! if you want to cry, to laugh, buy it!! The youngs actors are amazing specially Haley Joel Osment the new young biggest actor!! After The Sixth Sens, Pay It Forward(so sad), and A.I, if you haven't seen I'll Remember April, you miss a fabulous Osment's movie.
So i have just an advice: buy it and love it, you can't do else.
Believe me is a great fabulous movie ;-)

Summary: Open your heart and your eyes!
Review: This movie shows how easy hate is transferred from adults to children. It also shows how innocent children are and how easy it is for them to connect with someone so different than themselves. With such a huge language barrier they are still able to befriend a Japanese sailor. Although the relationship started as a soldier/prisoner, it grew to a very long and heart felt relationship. It truly is one of the best coming of age stories I have ever viewed.

Summary: A Splendid Film!
Review: This movie was great in every aspect, and very much worthy of mention! I'll Remember April was a war saga that aimed towards the children of the era, and how it affected them. All of the actors were great, but I am extremely impressed with Trevor Morgan's performance as Duke Cooper. I would recommend this film to anyone who finds relation to childhood friendships, and childhood hardships. With these young fabulous actors in the lead, this is a 6 star film! What a precious piece this movie really is!

Summary: A successful look at friendship and loyalty
Review: Wonderful, funny, poignant film about four boys during World War II who find a Japanese sailor washed up on the California coast near Santa Barbara and take him prisoner in their clubhouse, intending to turn him over to the authorities; only he saves the life of one of them, and they no longer regard him as an enemy. Here is a film that explores friendship, loyalty, and what happens when you meet an "enemy" face to face. Can two people from different worlds laugh, swim, embrace, and grieve together?This is a real find -- a small-budget, little-publicized film (it must have gone straight to video) with well-known actors and seasoned direction. Pat Morita and Trevor Morgan are marvelous in their roles, as is Yuji Okumoto as the sailor. Great attention has been paid to authentic period setting such as hair style, clothing, music, cars. It has been shot with a wide lens that gives an impression of light and color. And unlike many modern films, it leaves the viewer with a sense of wholesomeness. While some will criticize it for being a bit too breezy, to me it was a breath of fresh air.
