the movie start out with a long shot of a nun meditating at a temple and a voice over represent a good buddhist would be willing to jump into hell to save just one other person . then it cut to a picture of a southern california town with a big caption represent hell . i think this movie be go to be an amusing comedy about a boor who get his expectation of a submissive and doll like mail order bride turn upside down . he do and but rather than be comedic this movie be dramatic and touch . maxwell bright start out a a guy who be self destruct and lose everything in life his business and his friend and his house and his self image . he think he can buy a geisha girl who will prop up his ego and but what he get be a quietly strong woman who both make him realize what humiliate depth he sink to and and pull him out of them . it seem like a low budget production because the camera work be a bit choppy and the pacing be terrible slow bit should be fast and fast bit should be slow but the writing and act be great .
