I'll Remember April is a 1999 American family drama film directed by Bob Clark and starring Pat Morita, Pam Dawber, Haley Joel Osment, Mark Harmon, and Yuki Tokuhiro.

The film is about four children who find Japanese sailor Matsuo Yomma (Yuji Okumoto) when he washes ashore during the Second World War.

[1][2] On the American home front during World War II, adolescent Duke Cooper and his three best friends live in a Pacific Coast community where they play soldier, experiment with swearing, and earnestly patrol the beach for Japanese submarines.

[3] According to an interview on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, Michael Cera tried out for the part of Peewee, making it the second role he lost to Osment after The Sixth Sense.

[4] Variety wrote I'll Remember April "revels in simple boyhood pleasures, but feels phony as it tries to mine more serious themes of torn loyalties during difficult early days of WWII".
