The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)

Picked this one up on a whim a couple of months ago. I figured it was worth a shot.

The story is of a high school girl who gets the power to, literally, leap back through time. The power allows her to have a redux on her past. As a teenage girl, the most important things are to not be embarrassed, etc. so her power usage is pretty casual. I can't give away much more than that.

This one had an interesting twist about 2/3 of the way through. I didn't see it coming but it made some sense when it did.

Overall, the story was pretty decent. It took awhile to get going but it paid off in the end. It brought a new element to the traditional time travel films. It kinda reminded me of Groundhog Day meets About Time. There was heart to it.

Yes, I'll recommend it. It was worth a viewing, for sure.
