Query: Different from American Movies, but Good

I love the concept of the original story called "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" by Yasutaka Tsutsui (the book from which this movie jumps off). I've read the book and seen the manga version of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" that was released in 2006.Unlike the anime, the protagonist in the movie doesn't play around much. She is on a mission to find someone from her mother's past. There are, of course, complications, but what good story doesn't have any? The movie has a really good ending, but I wouldn't necessarily classify it as happy. That's one key way in which Japanese movies can differ from American ones.As another reviewer said, the quality isn't perfect, but I think the story and the acting is good enough that watching this movie is totally justified. There are plot twists that I never saw coming, and it kept the movie very interesting. I highly recommend it!
