This film has some credibility. I like the idea behind it but I have trouble with the slight cheesiness that comes across sometimes. Some of it is a bit cliché and I don't find Kirsten Dunst to be all that convincing, especially when she first arrives in Germany. I found the transition from present to past to be cheesy too. I love the idea but it just didn't do all that much for me. The history is awesome but I think things could've been better achieved if it was the grandmother's story, and not the girl time travelling because it brings down the realism and credibility of the storyline, and surely they are trying to get realism across?
