Apparently, dogs live outside of time and space. Which is okay.
The plotholes in the whole time travel issue could fill a barrel, but when you're watching they're pleasantly easy to overlook. The script is nice (borders on sacharine but never quite tips the scale) and very romantic. The leads are pleasant and likeable and have chemistry together. I also liked that this was not a romantic comedy. Just a straight-up romance, with no "annoying best friend" always hanging in the corner for comic relief.
You won't leave this film with your heart soaring like you'd just seen Moulin Rouge or Titanic, but you will leave with a sense of romance and mystery and a touch of the sadness that goes along with waiting and hoping. My friend cried-- she cries at romantic movies.
