i catch this film on azn on cable . it sound like it would be a good film and a japanese green card . i can not say i have ever dislike an asian film and quite the contrary . some of the most incredible horror film of all time be japanese and korean and and i be a huge fan of john woo hong kong film . i an not adverse to a light hearted film and like tampopo or chung king express ( two of my favourite ) and so i thought i would like this . well and i would rather slit my wrist and drink my own blood than watch this laborious and badly act film ever again . i think the director steven okazaki must have spike the water with quaalude and because no one in this film have a personality . and when any of the character do try to act and a oppose to mumble a line or two and their performance come across a forced and incredibly fake . i honestly do not think that anyone have ever act before . the only person who sound genuine be brenda aoki . i find it amaze that this be promote a a comedy and because i do not laugh once . even more surprising be that cbs morning news call this a refreshing breath of comedy . it be neither refreshing and nor a breath of comedy . and the end be very predictable and the previous reviewer must be an idiot to think such thing . avoid this film unless you want to see a boring predictable plot line and wooden acting . i actually think that spike of bensonhurst be a well act film than this . and i walk out half way through that film .
